Watch this one together

~5 min · materials: none (optional: a light toy car and a heavier book or toy to push across a smooth table or floor)

Why are heavy things hard to push?

The same person nudges a chair and a couch. One jumps forward; one barely changes speed. What resists?

Talk about it

  • The same person nudges a chair and a couch. One jumps forward; one barely changes speed. What resists?
  • Before the reveal, ask: “Which cart gains speed faster?”
  • Afterward, ask the child to point to the cause and the measured result.
