This Grade 3 Science worksheet introduces young learners to pushes and pulls as basic forces. Students practice identifying everyday examples, such as kicking a ball as a push and opening a drawer as a pull. Through sentence correction, fill-in-the-blank, and true-or-false activities, Grade 3 students build confidence recognizing forces in their daily lives and connect NGSS 3-PS2 vocabulary to familiar real-world actions and simple observations every day.
