In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify and name everyday objects that move

  • Classify an object's motion as a push, a pull, or both, using a two-column table

Teaching tips

  • Walk around the classroom together first and point out objects that push or pull, since students must generate their own examples beyond the two given

  • Discuss the two given examples (door, door bell) as a class to model that some objects fit both categories

  • Pair with a hands-on demonstration of pushing and pulling classroom objects before independent work

Skills covered

  • Force classification — students sort everyday objects by whether moving them requires a push, a pull, or both.

  • Observation and example generation — students identify additional objects from their own experience to add to the table.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Can an object be both pushed and pulled?

Yes — the worksheet explicitly reminds students that some objects, like a door, can be both pushed and pulled, so both boxes can be ticked for the same object.
