Through everyday experiences and play with a variety of toys and other objects, I can recognise simple types of forces and describe their effects. 

SCN 0-07a

Benchmarks:

·  Explores and sorts toys and objects into groups according to whether they need to be pushed or pulled.

·  Measures, using simple equipment, how the movement of an object is affected by the size of the force or the weight of the object.

· Demonstrates, through play, how a force can make an object stay still, start to move, speed up, slow down and change shape.
