K-PS2-2 games

Decide whether a push or pull changes an object's speed or direction as intended.

K-PS2-2 is part of the Next Generation Science Standards. Push and Pull practices it. Standards vary by state, so check with your kid’s teacher for the exact match.

The game

Push and Pull Pushes, pulls, ramps and magnetskindergarten to 2nd grade

Push and Pull: On a playground, things get pushed and pulled. Kids tell a push from a pull, see what a harder push does, predict which way something will move, try ramps, and learn how magnets pull and how their poles work.

Practice it at home

Roll a toy car down a ramp made from a book, then make the ramp steeper and compare.
