Pushes, Pulls and Materials

Forces can change speed or direction. Materials have properties such as flexibility, rigidity and texture that affect their uses.

What to remember

  • A push can change speed.
  • A pull can change direction.
  • Stronger forces can cause larger changes.
  • Materials have observable properties.
  • Material choice depends on purpose.

Key words

force — push or pull
direction — way of movement
strength — how strong a force is
flexible — able to bend
rigid — not easily bent
How to use this drill: review the short notes when learning, then close them on later attempts and practise from memory. The rotating bank delays a full set repeat for 25 attempts on the same browser.
