Force: Push and Pull
In this force worksheet, students answer short answer questions about pushing and pulling different objects. Students complete 15 questions.
Curated OER
Pushes and Pulls
Young scholars examine different types of movement and causes that may affect those movements. In this online interactive forces and motion lesson, students use toy cars to observe push and pull and then make predictions and collect data...

Being Forceful
Young scientists consider the forces of push and pull, start and stop, and try to categorize each one correctly. There are five cartoon drawings of kids performing an activity. Learners must write push or pull, and start or stop in the...
Magic of Physics
Forces Lab
Here's a force to be reckoned with in the physics classroom! Scholars discover the movements associated with tension, compression, and other common forces through a hands-on simulation. Pupils pull, push, and twist their way through each...
Curated OER
Fast and Slow Motion
Explore the world of motion and force with an activity for kindergarten and first grade. After determining how people can make balls or bikes move slower, kids use a cardboard tube and a marble to experiment with motion and speed. A...
Curated OER
Push or Pull?
Utilizing the Nebraska State Quarter, pupils learn about the pioneers who had wagons that were pulled across Nebraska by oxen during the westward movement. Excellent worksheets are embedded in the plan that guide them through this fine...

Investigation 1 - Push and Pull
Third graders study the forces of push and pull on motion
EZ Task
Forces
Investigate force, acceleration, Newtons, and vectors with this worksheet packet that starts with an overview fact sheet for reference. Learners label images as either push or pull forces, indicating if the force causes a change in...
Curated OER
Push or Pull Table
For this push or pull table worksheet, learners complete a table by naming objects and ticking the correct box or boxes telling if the objects can be pushed, pulled, or both. Students write names of twelve objects.
Curated OER
Push or Pull
In this push or pull activity, students observe pictures and determine whether the objects show a push or a pull motion and then draw a push and a pull picture. Students answer eight questions.
Curated OER
Push or Pull
Young scholars discover that one way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull. They design their own boats and work with 'The Great Boat Push' worksheet to compare how their boats move when they are pushed or...
Curated OER
Pushes and Pulls
Students recognize different types of movement and causes that my affect the movement. They know that pushes and pulls are types of forces.
