They begin by exploring how objects move in different directions when they are pushed or pulled, and then investigate how changing the strength of a force changes the distance an object moves.](https://www.knowatom.com/science-phenomena-videos/kindergarten-science/forces-and-motion) [ VIEW LESSON ](https://www.knowatom.com/science-phenomena-videos/kindergarten-science/forces-and-motion) Standards citation: NGSS Lead States. 2013. *Next Generation Science Standards: For States, By State*s.
