These push and pull sorting cards make a terrific hands-on addition to your Science unit as students learn to identify the force required to move different objects.
They can be used as a whole class warm-up, small group activity or early finisher task. Use hula hoops for small groups to create a venn diagram using the cards.
Describe pushes and pulls in terms of strength and direction and predict the effect of these forces on objects’ motion and shape
Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models
A push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape
The way objects move depends on a variety of factors including their size and shape: a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape
Observes, questions and collects data to communicate ideas
Develops solutions to an identified need
Observes the way objects move and relates changes in motion to push and pull forces
Students could create additional cards to add to the collection.
