How do toy engineers use their understanding of forces to design toys? Through this engaging NGSS engineering design challenge students will have a chance to design their own push and pull toy that takes them through planning, building, and analyzing the results of their designs! If your students are learning about push and pull forces this is an excellent way to have them begin analyzing designs and forces and addressing Next Generation Science Standard K-PS2-2 and K-2-ETS1) This awesome push and pull engineering design challenge is included in our COMPLETE Kindergarten Physical Science STEM Unit.

Push & Pull Cause & Effect Matching Worksheet Standards addressed in this activity: K-2-ETS1-1. Ask questions, make observations, and gather information about a situation people want to change to define a simple problem that can be solved through the development of a new or improved object or tool. K-2-ETS1-2. Develop a simple sketch, drawing, or physical model to illustrate how the shape of an object helps it function as needed to solve a given problem. K-PS2-2 Analyze data to determine if a design solution works as intended to change the speed or direction of an object with a push or a pull.* ____________________________________________________________________________________ Follow Us on TPT It pays to follow my store! all new products are 50% off for the first 48 hours!
