Learners investigate starting and stopping, action direction, gentle and stronger safe pushes, and a short soft-playdough shape change. They plan useful consistent conditions, record repeated trolley trials, discuss patterns and surprises, and apply their evidence to a nearby delivery target and a teacher-controlled cardboard toy drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTeach the full sequence as ten 60-minute lessons, each with its own complete editable PowerPoint.
