Grade 1 Science · Pushes and Pulls
Build science skills with five 10-question practice tests covering pushes, pulls, force, motion, gravity, friction, magnets, and simple experiments.
These Grade 1 science practice tests help students explore how forces affect objects. Students identify pushes and pulls, describe changes in motion, recognize gravity and friction, observe magnets, and plan simple fair tests.
Complete one 10-question test at a time. Use safe objects such as a toy car, ball, wagon, rubber band, or magnet to demonstrate the ideas. Record what happens after changing one push or pull at a time.

Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is It may move faster or farther.

Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Gravity.
Gravity pulls objects toward Earth.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Push against its motion.
A force in the opposite direction can slow or stop the ball.
A force is a push or pull that can start motion, stop motion, change speed, or change direction.
Friction is a force between surfaces that can slow motion. Rough surfaces usually create more friction than smooth surfaces.
The page includes five mini tests with 10 questions each, for 50 Grade 1 pushes and pulls questions in total.
