Help your students explain that objects can push on each other and may change shape when they collide, and investigate how the strength of a push or pull changes an object’s motion, with this 18-page EduMagnet Grade 2 science comic—print-ready US Letter landscape PDF.

Grade band: Grade 2 physical science · Force and motion · Collisions · Pushes and pulls · Strength of a push or pull · Simple descriptive investigations

This comic is written for Grade 2 and is aligned to Texas TEKS Science 2.7A, 2.7B, 2.1B, and 2.5B. TEKS codes appear on the store listing only — they are not printed on the comic pages.

What’s included

• 18-page color comic PDF (US Letter landscape, print or project)
• Story pages covering what happens when objects collide and push on each other; how some objects change shape when they bump; how the strength of a push or pull changes motion (a stronger push can make an object go farther or faster); planning a fair investigation; measuring distance with cubes; playground connections; a bumps-and-strength chart; a collision and strength lab; why bumps and strength matter; a big-idea recap; a try-this activity; a quick review quiz with an answer key; a weak-or-strong labeling page; and a vocabulary glossary
• Vocabulary bars and kid-friendly science explanations throughout
• Circled page numbers for easy classroom navigation
• Animal cast only (Mr. Dot, Nova, Bloop, Gear)
• EduMagnet branding on the last page only (not on the cover)

How to use it

• Whole-class read-aloud or projector lesson to launch a force-and-motion or collisions unit
• Science centers or literacy + science crossover reading
• Unit introduction or quick review before a fair-test, measuring-distance, or clay-collision activity
• Homeschool science reading — no prep: print or project and go
• Comics format supports visual and reluctant readers
