Forces: Push, Pull, and Gravity

Forces: Push, Pull, and Gravity

Learning Objective

At the end of the lesson, you will be able to understand the concepts of push, pull, and gravity and their effects.

Introduce the learning objective and set expectations for the lesson.

What do you already know about forces?

Slide 1: Introduction to Forces

Forces are pushes or pulls that can change the motion of an object.

Explain the basic concept of forces and their impact on objects.

Slide 2: Push

A push is a force that moves an object away from the person or thing applying the force.

Describe the concept of a push and provide examples for better understanding.

Slide 3: Pull

A pull is a force that moves an object towards the person or thing applying the force.

Explain the concept of a pull and provide real-life examples to reinforce the understanding.

Slide 4: Gravity

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the center of the Earth.

Introduce the force of gravity and its role in keeping objects grounded.

Slide 5: Effects of Push

Pushes can cause objects to move away or change direction.

Discuss the effects of a push and demonstrate how it affects the motion of objects.

Slide 6: Effects of Pull

Pulls can bring objects closer or change their direction of motion.

Explain the effects of a pull and provide examples to illustrate the concept.

Slide 7: Effects of Gravity

Gravity keeps objects on the ground and gives weight to everything.

Discuss the effects of gravity and how it influences the behavior of objects.

Slide 8: Summary

Recap the concepts of push, pull, and gravity and their effects on objects.

Summarize the main points covered in the lesson and reinforce understanding.

Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.

Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
