Play dough offers learners an interesting way to explore the effects of pushes and pulls. The students were encouraged to describe how the play dough feels (smooth, (squishy, flexible), as well as talk about what they are doing with play dough.
For example:
1. I am rolling the dough.
2. I am squishing the dough.
3. I am smashing the dough.
4. I am stretching the dough.
5. I am twisting the dough.
The students made a connection between a stretching or twisting action as a ‘pull’ and a squashing, rolling or squeezing action as a ‘push’.
Note for parents: Give play dough to your child and practice the above 5 sentences with them.
