Welcome to our playground pros club. Today we explore throwing and tossing. Yesterday, Sam played dodgeball. He hurled ball hard. He said, "I am being throwing to the target!" Later, he passed ball to friend. He flipped wrist gently. He said, "I am being tossing to my buddy!" Sam used force. Sam used light touch. Both sent ball flying. See difference? One is powerful hurl. One is gentle flip. Let us discover why.

How To Tell Them Apart Fast

He flips ball soft. He says, "I am being tossing to you!" Ball arcs gentle. Sam threw with power. Sam tossed with ease. Both moved ball. But different force.
Scenario two happens at home laundry time. Sam has dirty socks. He balls them up. He says, "I am being tossing to the basket!" Socks land soft. Later, he finds muddy shirt. He hurls it hard. He says, "I am being throwing to the hamper!" Shirt hits rim. Sam tossed light socks. Sam threw heavy shirt. Both aimed for basket. But different strength.
Scenario three happens at school paper airplane contest. Sam makes plane. He winds arm back. He says, "I am being throwing to the target!" Plane zooms fast. Later, he adjusts wing. He flicks wrist tiny. He says, "I am being tossing to the floor!" Plane glides slow. Sam threw for distance. Sam tossed for landing. Both flew planes. But different purpose.
