Pushes and Pulls Teacher Guide is the core resource that allows teacher to guide students to observe phenomena and investigate what causes changes in motion by exploring pushes and pulls. Students explore concepts that include the following:

• Pushes and pulls can have different strengths and directions.
• Pushing and pulling on an object can change the speed or direction of its motion and can start or stop it.
• Some pushes and pulls involve contact and others can operate at a distance.

Pushes and Pulls Teacher Guide provides detailed a lesson plan for each day of science study. The TG has reduced full-color Student Book pages for handy reference, activity page masters, assessments, features on knowing the science, and connections to appropriate sections of the Next Generation Science Standards Performance Objectives and the three dimensions of learning.

CKSci is informed by the NGSS, which encourages student learning through hands-on activities and collecting data. This activity-centered approach requires, at times, that schools collect or purchase materials and equipment that will be needed to complete activities.
