Interactive Elements / Activities:
1. Simple Push-Pull Game:
Push and pull different classroom objects (chair, drawer, bag) and observe
changes in motion or position.
2. Force Without Contact (Demo):
Use a bar magnet and iron nails or paper clips to show magnetic force at a
distance. Try moving them without touching.
3. Quick Think-Pair-Share:
“Is opening a tap a push or a pull?” Think, discuss with a partner, and share.

Real-Life Application Examples:
• Opening a car door – Push or pull force in action.
• Kicking a football – Force changes its speed and direction.
• Cycling uphill vs downhill – Experience of frictional and gravitational
forces.

Concept Extension (For Curious Minds):
• Why do magnets repel and attract?
It’s due to invisible magnetic fields—a type of non-contact force acting
at a distance.
• Can force exist without motion?
Yes! Balanced forces can act on an object without changing its state
(e.g., book resting on a table).
