Pushes and Pulls introduces Grade K students to phenomena and fundamental concepts of forces, which will be explored in greater depth in later grades. Students will observe and experience both visible and invisible pushes and pulls, contact and non-contact forces. They will recognize that motion is affected by the strength and direction of pushes and pulls, the characteristics of objects, and the surface on which objects are moved. Students will learn how motion changes and develop an understanding that pushes and pulls of all different types are the cause of all changes in motion.
