FAQ
What does push and pull teach first graders?⌄
First graders learn that forces are pushes and pulls that can change the way objects move: making them start, stop, speed up, slow down, or change direction. They explore how applying a stronger force produces a bigger change in motion and how the direction of the force matters.
When do first graders learn about push and pull?⌄
Push and pull is typically introduced in Grade 1 during a physical science unit on forces and motion. Teachers use playground equipment, toy cars, and ramps to give students direct, physical experience with the effect of forces before introducing the vocabulary and worksheets.
How can I use these worksheets at home?⌄
On a walk or at the playground, point out examples of pushing and pulling: opening a door, pulling a wagon, kicking a ball. Ask your child whether each action is a push or a pull and what it does to the object's motion. Complete the worksheet to reinforce the vocabulary and concepts.
