Pushes and Pulls

Welcome to Pushes and Pulls. This lesson covers key standards-aligned content.

Core Concept

A PUSH moves something AWAY from you. A PULL moves something TOWARD you. These are FORCES. A stronger push or pull makes an object go farther or faster. The DIRECTION matters too — push left and it goes left. Objects at rest STAY at rest until a force acts on them. GRAVITY is a pull toward Earth (that is why things fall down). FRICTION is a force that slows things down (rubbing your hands together creates friction).

Examples

Apply these concepts by looking for real-world examples in your daily life and studies.
