Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Students are engaging with push and pull forces in our playground and in everyday objects. In the playground, students completed a Push and Pull Hunt where they explored and tested out the playground to find four examples of pushes and pulls.\u00a0Students observed that many of the activities require more than one type of force, such as pushing, pulling, friction and gravity.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students are practising the critical thinking skill of explaining to identify the cause and effect of a push and a pull. Using explicit examples of cause and effect, students are learning about how to explain force as having a direction and understanding that an object’s movement depends on the direction of the force applied to it. Understanding forces helps students to predict how objects will react when a push or pull is exerted on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
