Playing with Push and Pull

1st Grade - 2nd Grade

Objectives Students will define force as the push or pull on an object. Students will identify whether the force being exerted on an object is pushing or pulling. Students will understand and demonstrate that an object at rest tends to stay at rest. Materials Needed Small washers or coins Strip of paper Chart paper Playground equipment Masking tape Variety of small objects (e.g., pencils, pennies, balls, toy cars, etc.) Measuring tape Push/Pull recording sheet Introduction Place a stack of three or four washers or coins on top of a strip of paper on a table or flat desktop surface, making sure that most of the paper is hanging off the surface. Ask students to predict what will happen if you quickly pull the strip of paper off the table. After they have made their guesses, grab the paper and swiftly pull it out from under the washers or coins in a downward motion. (The objects should stay on the table.) Explain how the coins or washers resisted movement even though the paper below them was moved away.

What Is Equal?

2nd Grade

Objectives Students will recognize and define the equal sign. Students will demonstrate that both sides of an equation are equal in value. Materials Needed Whiteboard or chart paper Marker “What Is Equal?” work mat Dry beans “Three In a Row” game board “Three In a Row” playing cards “Three In a Row” game markers Introduction Write the following number sentences on the board or on chart paper: 7 + 6 = 13 13 = 13 12 = 2 + 10 5 + 5 = 7 + 3 10 - 2 = 4 + 4 2 + 1 + 3 = 2 + 4 Point to each expression and ask students to put their thumbs up if the equation is true or their thumbs down if the equation is false. Ask students to explain their choices. Students may be surprised to learn that all of the equations are true.
