Grade 1 · Unit 5: Pushes and pulls

Faster, slower, stop!

Pushes and pulls change how things move.

Faster

Kick a ball hard. It goes faster. A big push makes things go fast.

Slower and stop

Catch a ball. You make it stop. A gentle push makes a ball go slower.

Change direction

Hit a ball with a cricket bat. The ball changes direction! Pushes and pulls can make things turn.
