Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Lesson Plan: Physical Forces - Push and Pull

Subject

Science

Topic

Physical Forces: Push and Pull

Grade/Age Group

Year 2

Duration

30 minutes

Class Size

20 Students

Objectives

Students will identify and describe the concept of push and pull as physical forces.
Students will demonstrate examples of push and pull in their everyday lives.
Students will engage in a hands-on activity that illustrates the effects of push and pull on objects.

Materials

Whiteboard and markers
Various small objects (e.g., toy cars, balls, blocks)
Push and pull game materials (e.g., ropes, boxes)
Worksheets for activity
Classroom space for group work

Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 min	Briefly introduce the topic of push and pull. Ask students for examples from their daily lives. Use the whiteboard to note down examples.
2	Explanation	10 min	Explain the concepts of push and pull, including their effects on different objects. Use examples to illustrate how these forces work.
3	Hands-On Activity	10 min	Divide students into small groups. Provide each group with materials to conduct simple experiments demonstrating push and pull (e.g., pushing a toy car vs. pulling it with a rope).
4	Review and Discussion	3 min	Gather students back together to discuss the activities. Ask groups to share their observations about how push and pull affected their experiments.
5	Homework Assignment	2 min	Assign students to identify three instances of push and pull forces they encounter at home. Ask them to draw or write about each instance on a worksheet. Collect worksheets at the end of class for review and feedback.

Assessment

Observational assessment during group activities.
Review of homework worksheets to check understanding of push and pull concepts.

Closure

Recap the key points of the lesson. Reinforce the importance of understanding push and pull forces in daily life.

Homework

Students will complete their worksheets identifying push and pull forces experienced at home. These will be collected and reviewed by the teacher without any student presentations.

Alignment with National Curriculum

This lesson aligns with the Australian Curriculum for Science by promoting inquiry-based learning and encouraging students to explore scientific concepts through hands-on activities.

This lesson plan is designed to engage Year 2 students in understanding physical forces in a fun and interactive manner, ensuring that learning objectives are met while adhering to Australian educational standards.
