About This Reader
This passage focuses on helping kindergarten students understand the differences between rolling and sliding, as outlined in NGSS Standard K-PS2. Through simple, relatable examples, like a ball rolling and a box sliding, children learn how shape and motion are connected. The passage explains that round objects like balls roll, while flat objects like boxes slide, making the concepts easy to grasp. By tying these ideas to everyday scenarios, such as sliding a book or rolling a toy car, this passage builds a strong foundation for understanding motion and stability in the world around us.
Some things roll, and some things slide! A ball rolls because it is round. It goes round and round when you push it.
A box slides. It moves straight across the floor when you push it. Boxes do not roll because they are not round.
