Grade 1 · Unit 5: Pushes and pulls

Pushes and pulls all around

Machines push and pull too.

Machines at work

A bulldozer pushes soil. A crane pulls heavy things up. A machine can push or pull.

In the classroom

You pull a drawer open. You push a button on a keyboard. You push your chair in.

Too heavy to move

Push a big rock. It does not move! Heavy things need a much bigger push.

What I learnt

• I know that we push and pull to make things work.
