Push or pull? by P2/1

Today in class we were learning about forces.  We investigated how different toys might move.  We learned that there is a push or a pull force that makes them move.

We used different toys to help us learn about the push and pull force.  It was fun and didn’t feel like we were working BUT we learned lots and were able to share what we found out with others.

Cooper – I played with the play-doh.  I used a push and a pull force.

Kayleigh – I used a push force to make the play-doh flat!

Calvin – I rolled the play-doh into a sausage shape.  I was pushing and pulling.

Rhys – I used a straw to make the ball move.  I blew through the straw and the air pushed the ball forward.  It was a push force.

Kian – I played with the Lego. I pushed it to make it stick together but pulled it apart.

Jay – I pushed the trains to make them move.  It was a push force.

Viktoria – I used my body to push the hula-hoop. I used a push force.

Ruby – I pushed the cars to make them zoom!

Brooke – I pulled the car back and let it go and it went across the carpet.
