📝 Summary:
This worksheet teaches how different forces (push/pull) affect object shapes. The key is to observe the action:
-
Squeeze: Compressing
-
Bend: Curving or changing direction
-
Twist: Rotating one part relative to another
-
Stretch: Pulling to make longer
All answers are based on visual cues and common understanding of physical actions.
