Everything around us moves because of forces. A push is when you move something away from you, like pushing a door open or pushing a toy car. A pull is when you move something towards you, like pulling a wagon or pulling a rope. Both pushes and pulls are forces that make things move, stop moving, or change direction. Let's explore this more with some fun activities!
