Lesson Outline

Lesson 1: Push, Pull Puppets - Exploring 'push' and 'pull'.

Lesson 2: Motion Detectives - Identifying how objects move when pushed/pulled.

Lesson 3: Push and Pull Playground - Identifying how playground equipment moves with push and pull.

Lesson 4: Ready, Set, Move! - Making a 'paddle and ball' to explore how forces interact with sport equipment.

Lesson 5: Friction race Way - Exploring how toy cars move down ramps.

Lesson 6: Spaced Out Science - Creating a rocket using straws.

Lesson 7: Down to Earth - Exploring gravity through paper helicopters.

Lesson 8: Zip to it - Exploring forces by creating zip lines for toys.

Lesson 9: Sink or Float? - Investigate push and pull when submerging objects.

Lesson 10: Splashy Science - Experimenting with changing the shape of play dough (or another material) to make it sink and float.

Lesson 11: Cooking Up Push and Pull - Cooking fairy bread and exploring push and pull (options for other recipes).

Lesson 12: Design a Playground - Assessment. Students design a playground using push and pull forces.

Bonus: This unit has recently been revised and updated to align with the Australian V9 curriculum. The old unit has also been included as a separate file via Dropbox and Google Drive. Please note that some lessons have been integrated and refreshed from other year levels, to align with curriculum updates.
