Picture of a basket

At the Apple-Packing Table

It is harvest time at the orchard. Tess tests an empty basket on a low, smooth table. She wants it to reach a soft pad without a hard bump. Each test starts at the same mark. The basket, path, and pad stay the same. Tess changes the push or pull strength. She watches how fast the basket moves and how it meets the pad.

Tess's test notes
Gentle push: moves slowly; touches the pad softly.
Strong push: moves quickly; bumps the pad hard.
Gentle pull: moves slowly; touches the pad softly.
Strong pull: moves quickly; bumps the pad hard.
