Kindergarten Science · World 6: Push and Pull Playground · Level 39
Heavy and Light
A heavier object needs a bigger push.
Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 39
- Heavy things are harder to move. They need a bigger push or pull.
- A bowling ball is heavier than a beach ball. Look: its side of the balance goes down.
- So the bowling ball needs a bigger push to roll. The beach ball moves with just a little push.
- A wagon full of rocks needs a harder pull than an empty wagon.
- Try it with a grown-up! Push an empty box, then fill it with books and push again. What changed?
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.)
