Push or Pull Sort | Forces of Motion Classification Activity for Upper
The Push or Pull Sort is a ready-to-use Montessori science shelf work designed for upper elementary (grades 4–6) students to explore the basic forces of motion. Students classify common actions and scenarios into push or pull categories, using a control of error to self-check. This activity introduces and reinforces force direction concepts while encouraging observation, sorting, and reasoning skills. Students will: Read scenario cards representing everyday actions (e.g., racing a toy car
