What is the definition of a push?
Any action that moves an object away from you.
100
What is a pull?
An action that moves an object closer to you.
100
Define friction
When two objects rub against one another.  This rubbing causes an object to not slip as much.
100
What is gravity?
A force that pulls you toward an object.

What is a magnet attacted to?
Iron and nickel

Give an example of a push.
Hitting, kicking, blowing, sliding, etc.
200
Give an example of a pull.
Grabbing a pencil, taking a coat off the hook, picking up a paper, etc.
200
Give an example of friction
Going down a slide, walking on carpet, rubbing your hands together, etc.
200
Do all objects have gravity?
Yes they do.  The larger the object the more gravity it posses.

What are the name of the poles on a magnet?
North and south
300
Name things that can push an object.
The wind, a wave, a person, etc.

What would happen if your shoes did not have any friction?
You would slip and land on the floor.
300
Give examples of gravity at work.
Rain falling, a pencil dropping, etc.

What happens when opposite poles of a magnet are placed next to each other?
They pull together

What happens when the same poles of a magnet are put together?
They push against each other
500
Can a magnet push an object?  How?
A magnet can push another magnet if opposite poles are facing one another.
500
How does the Earth pull you?
The Earth has gravity which pulls all objects down to the Earth's center.
500
Can friction keep gravity from pulling you down?  Explain why or why not.
Yes friction can keep you from falling down if you are wearing materials that rub against other materials to keep you up.
