Kindergarten Science · World 6: Push and Pull Playground · Level 38
Shape Changes How It Moves
Round things roll, flat things slide, and wheels help.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 38
- The shape of a thing changes how it moves. Round things, like a ball, roll.
- Things with flat sides, like a box, slide.
- Wheels are round, so they roll. Wheels help heavy things move, like a full shopping cart.
- Your turn! Sort them: rolls or slides.
- Try it with a grown-up! Push a ball and a book across the floor. Which one rolls? Which one slides?
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Science:
- SKP2.a — Plan and carry out an investigation to determine the relationship between an object's physical attributes and its resulting motion (straight, circular, back and forth, fast and slow, and motionless) when a force is applied. (Examples could include toss, drop, push, and pull.)
