Moving Objects

In this push or pull table instructional 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.

In this science worksheet, 2nd graders fill in a Venn Diagram with items that are pushed and those that are pulled. They place the items that can be both pushed and pulled in the overlapping space.

Through hands-on activities, this instructional activity 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...

Hang a soda can from a string and watch it spin by the force created by water streaming out of slanted holes. This plan provides background information, detailed materials and procedures, discussion questions, a lab worksheet, and...

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...

Your kids probably use mirrors every day, but do they know how they work? A reading passage about reflection and reflective objects can address both physical science and reading comprehension. Kids read the paragraphs and use context...

In 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.

Is a rock living? How about lima beans? You'll find everything you need for an interactive sorting activity exploring living and non-living things. 

Students will make many discoveries about how and why objects move. They will explore and manipulate the motion of objects and the forces required to control that motion (pushing, pulling, throwing, dropping, rolling, and so on). This...

Students will understand that pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions. Students investigate the effects of these different pushes and pulls.
