Examples of push and pull in everyday life grade 3

📚 Quick Study Guide

• 💪 Push: A force that moves something away from you. Think of pushing a shopping cart or kicking a ball.
• 🚗 Pull: A force that moves something closer to you. Examples include pulling a wagon or opening a door.
• 🎢 Forces: Pushes and pulls are both types of forces. Forces can make things move, stop moving, or change direction.
• ⚖️ Balance: Sometimes pushes and pulls are balanced, so nothing moves! Like when you and a friend are pulling on a rope equally hard in opposite directions.
• 💡 Gravity: Gravity is a pulling force that keeps us on the ground!
