Solution to the "Pushes and Pulls" Worksheet
---
####
1. Explain the difference between a pushing force and a pulling force.
Answer:
A
pushing force is when you apply force to move an object away from you. For example, pushing a shopping cart forward.
A
pulling force is when you apply force to bring an object toward you. For example, pulling a wagon behind you.
The key difference is:
-
Push: Moving something
away from you.
-
Pull: Moving something
toward you.

2. Draw an example of each kind of force.
Since this is a text-based explanation, I’ll describe what should be drawn in each box:
---
✔ Push Example (Draw in the "push" box):
Draw a person
pushing a stroller or
a child pushing a toy car forward. Show the person’s hands pushing the object, with arrows pointing
away from the person to indicate the direction of the push.
> *Example idea:* A boy pushing a red toy car across the floor with his hands on the back of the car.
---
✔ Pull Example (Draw in the "pull" box):
Draw a person
pulling a wagon or
a dog pulling a leash. Show the person holding a rope or handle and moving backward as the object comes toward them. Use arrows pointing
toward the person to show the pull.
> *Example idea:* A girl pulling a red wagon by a handle, with the wagon moving toward her.
---
✔ Summary:
-
Push: Force applied to move an object
away from you.
-
Pull: Force applied to move an object
toward you.
- Both are types of
forces, which can change the motion of objects.
