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.

3. 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 A paper clip.
Many paper clips contain iron and can be attracted by a magnet.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is A wooden block.
Wood is not a magnetic metal, so a wooden block is not usually pulled by a magnet.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Gravity.
Gravity pulls the ball toward Earth.

Correct answer: C
The correct answer is Push it through the air.

Correct answer: A
The correct answer is A kick.
A kick is a push that gives the ball motion.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Catch or block it.
Hands or another safe barrier can apply a force that stops 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.
