In group students will learn to identify pushes and pulls. Students will learn how a push or pull will affect various items. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science University, GEMS-U Project.

Learn why every force is a push or a pull.

This super simple activity for kindergarten-age learners requires no materials and can be done inside or outside, or both and explores forces and motion.

Students develop an understanding of the concepts of "push" and "pull" as they "save" stuffed animals from danger using LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robots. After learning more about the concepts through a robot demonstration, students explore...

See how forces affect various items that are pushed or pulled.

Learn about forces (push or pull), gravity, and friction in this module by training dolphins.

Teaching students about pushes, pulls, and motion? Use this site to plan lessons for students to conduct investigations to compare the effects on the motion of an object when pushes or pulls come from different directions or strengths.

Third graders will sort simple machines according to an applied force --push or a pull.

You have probably heard the word "force" before in conversations. Here are a few examples: "the rocket had a lot of force at blast off" or "the force of the storm blew the roof off the building." What is force? Force is defined as a push...

A learning module reviewing how much force is needed to push or pull objects. Also learn about the force of gravity.

This tutorial is to introduce students to the concept of forces. Tutorial includes activities, content and teacher notes.

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 3 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

Through hands-on activities, this lesson will show students that a force is a push or a pull and forces cause changes in motion. Included are a minute-by-minute lesson plan, activities, and teacher discussion points and questions.

Learn how forces of push and pull can change speed or direction.

Explore the forces at work when pulling against a cart, and pushing a refrigerator, crate, or person. Create an applied force and see how it makes objects move. Change friction and see how it affects the motion of objects.

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

This lesson will explain how to calculate net forces on an object being pushed or pulled. It is 1 of 4 in the series titled "Calculating Forces."

In this document, we will try to answer a fundamental question of physical science, "Why do things start to move, slow down, speed up, stop moving or change direction?" In answering these core questions we can develop concepts that can...

Young scholars will understand that objects move in many ways, and it takes a forces (pushing or pulling) to move them.

A lesson plan for stations that allow students to explore how a push or pull affects motion.

The NSTA vetted source includes resources to teach how to analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull. Included are assessment ideas, videos,...

Children discuss, observe, and play with equipment used in familiar sports, and then brainstorm a list of familiar sports and the equipment used in the sports. They discuss how the equipment is used, and predict how it is put into motion...

Students will explore what they can do with balls, cars, marbles, and ramps and document findings in their science journals. This will engage their curiosity, allow them to make self-discoveries, and explore self-interests.
