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.

Correct answer: A
The correct answer is The ball's direction.
The force from the hit can send the ball in a new direction.
Please select an answer first.
Correct answer: B
The correct answer is Pulling a wagon.
Pulling a wagon brings it toward the person holding the handle.
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.
