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.

2. Test
A 10-question Grade 1 science practice test on pushes, pulls, force, motion, gravity, friction, magnets, and simple experiments.
Read each force and motion question carefully. Choose one answer, then open the solution to review the push, pull, or motion idea.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is It turns as it moves.
A rolling ball turns around as it moves across a surface.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is It may roll down.
A ramp can help a toy car roll down because of gravity.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is A rough rug.
Rough surfaces create more friction and can slow motion.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is A smooth floor.
Smooth surfaces usually create less friction, so the car can roll more easily.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is Hit it from the side.
A force from the side can change the ball's direction.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is A heavy box.
A heavier object often needs more force to start moving.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Push it and move a boat.
Moving air pushes against a sail and can move a boat.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: D
The correct answer is Brakes and friction.
Brakes create friction that slows the bicycle wheels.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: A
The correct answer is A push.
A push gives the swing a force that starts its motion.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is The car moves toward you.
Pulling the string applies a force that moves the car toward you.
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.
