Push-Pull Review for Quiz is a Grade 7 social studies worksheet that helps students classify the reasons people leave one location or are attracted to another. Across 10 items—9 multiple-choice questions and 1 dropdown question—students identify push and pull factors in scenarios involving job opportunities, religious freedom, the California Gold Rush, the Potato Famine, unfair taxation, hurricanes, drought, safety, and peace. The questions reinforce that push factors drive people away, while pull factors draw people toward a new location. Use this free printable worksheet with an answer key for review, independent practice, or a quick formative check after introducing migration factors. The varied scenarios ask students to apply the push-versus-pull distinction rather than recall a single definition, making it useful for checking whether they can classify real-world examples accurately. The answer key supports efficient feedback and discussion of why each condition influences movement.

This Grade 7 social studies worksheet helps students classify migration factors as push or pull factors. Its 9 multiple-choice scenarios and 1 dropdown item require students to distinguish conditions that drive people away—such as famine, unfair taxation, hurricanes, or drought—from conditions that attract people, such as jobs, religious freedom, safety, peace, and gold discoveries.
Introduce the distinction by having students ask whether each condition makes people want to leave their current location or draws them toward a new one. Then use the worksheet’s scenarios—such as the Potato Famine, California gold, and religious freedom—for students to explain the reasoning behind each multiple-choice or dropdown response. Review the answer key afterward and ask students to justify any classification they changed.
Students may reverse the terms by calling an opportunity such as a dream job or religious freedom a push factor because it influences migration. They may also focus on the word “move” rather than the cause of movement, incorrectly labeling drought, hurricanes, famine, or unfair government treatment as pull factors. In the dropdown item, check that students connect peace, safety, and religious freedom with factors that attract people to a location.
