Push, Pull or Both?

We have been discovering how things move and what makes the objects move.  Through a variety of activities with partners and small groups, our friends came up with hand motions to show how things move- slow, fast, up, down, all around and zig-zag as well as hand motions of the forces of push and pull.  After exploring these forces students worked together to categorize objects by the forces that cause motion and used a Venn diagram to sort them.  Way to go, friends!
