force that you use to move something toward you or in the direction you’re pulling.

Question 2: Give one example of pulling.
The text gives several examples:
- Pulling on your socks when getting ready in the morning.
- Pulling open the refrigerator door to get a snack.

Any one of these works. Let’s pick the simplest one.

Question 3: Why is it harder to pull the wagon with the pumpkin inside?
From the text:
> “It takes a lot more force to pull the pumpkin. That is because the pumpkin is heavy!”
Also:
> “You will quickly notice that the wagon was easier to move before you put the pumpkin inside.”
So, adding the pumpkin makes the wagon heavier → heavier things need more force to move → so it’s harder to pull.
✔ Final Answer for Q3: Because the pumpkin is heavy, and heavy things take more force to move.

Final Answer:
1. A pull is a kind of force used to move things.
2. Pulling open the refrigerator door to get a snack.
3. Because the pumpkin is heavy, and heavy things take more force to move.
