Push Pull

Year 1 – 2

Step 1 of 4

Students explore the forces of push, pull and gravity.

They will investigate how these forces are used in everyday activities and apply this knowledge in design challenges. 

In this program, students will:

  • Explore forces in action.
  • Investigate the language of forces (e.g. twist, fold, saw, score).
  • Model how forces change the shape, speed and direction of an object.
