(quiz starts below)

Fascinating Fact:

We use a pull to move things towards us, and sometimes pulling gently makes them move slowly.

In KS1 Science, children learn that forces, like pushes and pulls, change how objects move. A stronger force makes things go faster, while a gentle force helps them move slowly and safely.

Key Terms

Force: A push or pull that can start, stop, or change how something moves.
Speed: How fast or slow something is moving.
Pull: A force that brings an object closer to you.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do you explain speed in KS1 Science?

In KS1 Science, speed is explained as how fast or slow something moves. For example, a running child is fast, while a walking child is slower.

What is the difference between a push and a pull?

A push moves something away from you, like pushing a door open. A pull moves something towards you, like pulling a toy on a string.

How does a stronger force change movement?

A stronger force makes objects speed up or move further. A gentle force moves them slowly or only a short distance, which helps with control and safety.
