This worksheet from
Osmo is titled
"Force and Motion", and it's designed to help children understand the concepts of
force (a push or pull) and
motion (how objects move). The task involves identifying whether each action shown in the pictures is a
push or a
pull.
Let’s analyze each image one by one:
---
🔹 Top Left: Boy pulling a door with a rope
- The boy is using a rope to
pull the door toward himself.
-
Action: Pull
-
✔ Answer:
Pull
---
🔹 Top Right: Boy doing pull-ups on a bar
- The boy is
pulling his body upward using the bar.
- His arms are applying an upward force against gravity.
-
Action: Pull
-
✔ Answer:
Pull
---
🔹 Middle Left: Boy pushing a door
- The boy is using his hands to
push the door open.
- He is applying force in the direction away from himself.
-
Action: Push
-
✔ Answer:
Push
---
🔹 Middle Right: Two kids pushing a shopping cart
- Both children are
pushing the cart forward.
- They are applying force behind the cart to make it move.
-
Action: Push
-
✔ Answer:
Push
---
🔹 Bottom Left: Boy pulling a wagon
- The boy is holding the handle and
pulling the wagon behind him.
- The wagon moves because of the pulling force.
-
Action: Pull
-
✔ Answer:
Pull
---
🔹 Bottom Right: Girl opening a door
- The girl is
pushing the door open.
- She is applying force to the side of the door, moving it outward.
-
Action: Push
-
✔ Answer:
Push
---
✔ Final Answers:
| Image | Action |
|------|--------|
| Top Left |
Pull |
| Top Right |
Pull |
| Middle Left |
Push |
| Middle Right |
Push |
| Bottom Left |
Pull |
| Bottom Right |

🌟 Explanation for Kids:
- A
push means you move something
away from you (like pushing a door open).
- A
pull means you move something
toward you (like pulling a wagon).
These actions show how
forces (pushes and pulls) make things move — that’s
motion!

✔ So, fill in the blanks like this:
1. Pull
2. Pull
3. Push
4. Push
5. Pull
6. Push
This helps reinforce basic physics concepts in a fun, visual way! 🎉
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of forces and motion activity sheet.
