Push or Pull?

Worksheet Description

What is Force?

Imagine you have a toy car. If you want that car to move, you might give it a little push or pull. The action of making it move, whether you’re pushing or pulling, is called a force. It’s like a little invisible hand that can make things move, stop, or change direction.

Push vs. Pull Forces

A push is when you apply force away from you. Imagine you’re trying to slide a heavy box across the floor. If you press against it to make it move away from you, you’re using a push force.
