Pushing trolley

Physical Education

• The child learned about the concept of force and how it affects the movement of objects while pushing the trolley.
• They also developed their gross motor skills as they used their muscles to push the trolley and navigate it around obstacles.
• Through the activity, the child learned about the importance of teamwork and cooperation as they worked with others to push the trolley together.
• They also gained an understanding of the concept of balance as they adjusted their body position while pushing the trolley.

Science

• The child learned about the laws of motion as they observed how the trolley moved in response to the force applied to it.
• They explored the concept of friction as they noticed how different surfaces affected the ease of pushing the trolley.
• Through hands-on experience, the child gained an understanding of the concept of weight and how it influences the movement of objects.
• They also developed their observational skills as they noticed how the trolley's movement changed when different amounts of force were applied.

For continued development related to the activity, encourage the child to explore different types of objects that can be pushed or pulled. They can experiment with various surfaces or inclines to see how it affects the movement. Additionally, they can try pushing or pulling objects of different sizes and weights to further understand the concepts of force and motion. Encourage them to reflect on their observations and make predictions about how different factors will affect the movement of the objects.
