Push and Pull

Goal: Say whether things move by a push or a pull, and see how to make them go faster, slower or stop.

For parents: Forces are everywhere in play. Every time your child kicks a ball or opens a drawer, ask: push or pull?

Do together

  1. Push or pull hunt

    You need: The house

    Open doors, drawers, the fridge, a zip. Is it a push or a pull? Make a two-column list with pictures.

  2. Car ramp

    You need: A toy car, a board or tray, books

    Make a ramp. Add a book to make it steeper — does the car go further? Try it on a carpet and on a smooth floor.

  3. Drop test

    You need: A ball, a feather or tissue, a spoon

    Drop them from the same height at the same time. Which lands first? What pulls them down?
