Identify Pushes and Pulls

Explore everyday forces with this science worksheet! In this practice, learners will look at eight different real-life scenarios and determine if the picture shows pushing or pulling. Does moving a shopping cart require a push or a pull? What about harvesting carrots?

Created for first and second graders, this worksheet is intended to help students become familiar with basic concepts of motion. Understanding pushes and pulls are fundamental for future lessons about motion and how force is exerted. Applying science to everyday scenarios will help young learners recognize the practical application of these lessons.
