Very Good Condition 

Year 2

Push-pull provides students with hands-on opportunities to:

explore pushes and pulls
observe and gather evidence about how these forces act in air and water, and on the ground
identify the effect of the pull of gravity
learn that both air and water can 'push'
Students apply their new learning by:

planning and conducting an investigation of the factors that affect a paper whirly-bird’s fall through air
Linking science with literacy

In the Primary Connections approach, students are supported to create representations that draw on and strengthen their literacy development. In Push-pull, students represent and explain their understanding about how a push or a pull affects how an object moves or changes shape, by creating these representations:

data table
force-arrow diagram
factual text
word wall
