Push and Pull
I love mixing arts lessons with core content! Here, the class will discuss energy, motion, and force (push/pull) as they review dance vocabulary and movements. They preview vocabulary for force and dance. Then they pair-up to dance a...
Curated OER
Force: Push and Pull
In this force activity, students answer short answer questions about pushing and pulling different objects. Students complete 15 questions.
Curated OER
Pushes and Pulls
Students examine different types of movement and causes that may affect those movements. For this online interactive forces and motion lesson, students use toy cars to observe push and pull and then make predictions and collect data...
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
Curated OER
Push or Pull Table
In this push or pull table activity, students 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
For this push or pull worksheet, 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
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...
Curated OER
Push or Pull
Students 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 pulled and...
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.

Constructing and Visualizing Topographic Profiles
Militaries throughout history have used topography information to plan strategies, yet many pupils today don't understand it. Scholars use Legos and a contour gauge to understand how to construct and visualize topographic profiles. This...
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
Changes in Motion: Push & Pull
In this changes in motion worksheet, students view the concept of pulling and pushing an object, decide whether 10 statements or examples of push or pull and circle their multiple choice answers. Students draw a picture of themselves...
Curated OER
Push and Pull Magnets
Fifth graders pull a paper clip sitting on paper with a magnet beneath the paper. They experiment to see what happens if they substitute the paper with thicker paper and other materials (plywood, glass, foil, etc.)
It's About Time
Run and Jump
Has your class wondered how fast a human could run or how high they are capable of jumping? Help them understand these concepts as they explore acceleration and use an accelerometer to make semiquantitative measurements of acceleration...
Curated OER
Push or Pull
Students examine a large box and determine how they may move the box to a specified point. After the class makes predictions, they test them and decide what worked and what didn't work. Through their tests, push and pull are introduced....
Concord Consortium
Deformed Electron Cloud
Dispel the misconception that atoms are always little round balls! Illustrate changes in the electron cloud with an entertaining interactive. Pupils push and pull on the cloud by altering the charge on plates located on either side of...
Concord Consortium
Seeing Intermolecular Attractions
Ahh, the rules of attraction...intermolecular attraction! Introduce your chemistry crew to the other forces that influence the behavior of atoms and molecules alike with a simple interactive. Pupils push and pull polar and non-polar...
Curated OER
Push or Pull
Students study the forces, push and pull. They conduct demonstrations of pushing and pulling. They examine the Nebraska state quarter for an example of pulling.
Curated OER
Push or Pull
Learners examine the concepts push and pull. In this push or pull lesson, students identify objects that push, pull, or do both. Learners then apply their knowledge in order to test toys and identify them as toys that are pushed, pulled....
