5th Grade Push and Pull Lessons

Explore 5th Grade Push and Pull Lessons

Push and pull forces form the foundation of Grade 5 students' understanding of how objects move and interact in their physical world. These comprehensive presentations from Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide structured instruction that transforms abstract physics concepts into concrete, observable phenomena through concept explanation and visual learning experiences. Students develop critical scientific thinking skills as they explore how pushing a swing, pulling a wagon, or applying force to open a door demonstrates the fundamental principles that govern motion in everyday situations. The presentations guide learners through systematic observation and analysis, helping them recognize that all motion requires force and building their ability to predict, measure, and describe the relationship between applied forces and resulting movement. Wayground (formerly Quizizz) empowers teachers with access to millions of teacher-created presentation resources that make complex scientific concepts accessible to elementary learners. The platform's robust search and filtering capabilities allow educators to quickly locate presentations aligned with specific learning standards and differentiated for diverse classroom needs. Teachers can customize existing presentations or build upon proven instructional sequences, adapting visual elements and explanations to match their students' learning styles and academic levels. The digital-first delivery format enables seamless integration into classroom instruction, whether used for whole-group concept introduction, small-group exploration, or individual student remediation, while supporting flexible pacing that allows students to revisit challenging concepts and advance their understanding of fundamental physics principles through repeated exposure and varied examples.
