About this resource

What's inside this resource

Introduce force and motion to your elementary-aged kids with posters and art!


INCLUDES

-1 Full Color Chart

-1 Printer-friendly Chart

-1 Coloring Worksheet


I loved using this to teach my 3rd graders about some of those trickier topics in Physical Science. Pairing abstract concepts like "pull" with an adorable scarlet macaw helps the kids become instantly engaged and ready to learn. Feel free to use this as a coloring page to introduce these new vocabulary words, or use it as a memory visual as you're working through a force and motion project.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Distinguish pushes from pulls by the direction of movement

  • Describe gravity as a downward pull toward Earth

  • Identify friction as resistance between rubbing surfaces

Teaching tips

  • Introduce the five labeled terms from the illustrated reference before reviewing their definitions.

  • Compare the push and pull panels side by side, then contrast gravity with friction.

Skills covered

  • Force classification — students distinguish push, pull, gravity, and friction.

  • Vocabulary interpretation — each illustrated term is paired with a concise definition.

  • Motion reasoning — students connect force descriptions with a change in position over time.
