Test your understanding of push and pull forces by moving animals using monkey power. Investigate and then predict the effects of applying a force to move a range of objects of various mass. For example, select two monkeys to move a pelican, and predict whether they will move the pelican slowly, quickly or too fast.

  • Students apply a force to move an object that is at rest and identify the minimum force needed to move the object.
  • Students investigate the effect of applying a greater force to an object.
  • Students investigate the meaning of 'push' and 'pull' forces.
  • Students predict the outcome of applying a force to a range of objects of various mass.

  • Allows students to choose the force they want to apply to an object, and then to predict the results of applying that force.
  • Assesses student understanding of 'push' and 'pull' forces.
  • Includes a printable report detailing student achievement of learning outcomes and comparing student answers with correct answers for each question.
