Push and Pull

For our quest topic this term we have been looking at ‘push and pull’ forces. The children are being given the opportunity to explore pushes and pulls in our environment with lots of hands on experiments. Through investigations using toys, play equipment, our bodies and everyday items, the students observing how these forces act in air and water, and on the ground. 

Jas is choosing which category her toy goes under.... push, pull or both.

Jorja has worked out that her toy involves both pushing and pulling. 

Our Venn Diagram made from hoops. The children had fun playing with their toys and working out which section their toy belonged in.... Push, Pull or Both. 

Time trials on the slide. We timed our selves going down without a push and then again with a push. Our predictions were correct...... We slid down faster when we were given a push by a friend.
