About This Reader
This educational passage explores the NGSS K-PS2-1 standard through a relatable soccer scenario. Students learn about different strengths of pushes through hard and soft kicks, and experience directional forces when the ball bounces off a tree. The content demonstrates how stronger pushes result in faster motion and how objects can change direction upon collision. The passage incorporates grade-appropriate vocabulary and real-world examples to help kindergarteners understand basic physics concepts.
Kim kicked her soccer ball hard, and it rolled fast across the field. Her friend Juan kicked the same ball softly, and it moved slowly. When the ball hit a tree, it bounced back! Later, Kim and Juan pulled the ball with a rope to get it out of a bush. They learned that stronger pushes made things move faster.
