Explore the world of motion and force with an activity for kindergarten and first grade. After determining how people can make balls or bikes move slower, kids use a cardboard tube and a marble to experiment with motion and speed. A...

Students examine different types of movement and causes that may affect those movements. In this online interactive forces and motion instructional activity, students use toy cars to observe push and pull and then make predictions and...

I love mixing arts lessons with core content! Here, the class will discuss energy, motion, and force (push/pull) as they review dance vocabulary and movements. They preview vocabulary for force and dance. Then they pair-up to dance a...

In this push or pull worksheet, learners observe pictures and determine whether the objects show a push or a pull motion and then draw a push and a pull picture. Students answer eight questions.

Third graders study the forces of push and pull on motion

Students discover that one way to change how something is moving is to give it a push or a pull. They design their own boats and work with 'The Great Boat Push' worksheet to compare how their boats move when they are pushed or pulled and...

Learners create a car using physics. In this forces and motion lesson, students create a car and test which changes in design change the performance of the car. Learners complete a graphic organizer with the different changes...

In this changes in motion worksheet, students view the concept of pulling and pushing an object, decide whether 10 statements or examples of push or pull and circle their multiple choice answers. Students draw a picture of themselves...

Students determine how force on an object affects its movement. In this force and motion lesson, students take digital pictures of objects in the school setting that are pushed and pulled. They develop a presentation using the digital...

Has your class wondered how fast a human could run or how high they are capable of jumping? Help them understand these concepts as they explore acceleration and use an accelerometer to make semiquantitative measurements of acceleration...

Third graders examine, analyze, study and memorize Newton's First Law of Motion utilizing a glider to demonstrate the process. They state, sing, draw or enact an example/illustration of Newton's First Law of Motion in front of their...

Fourth graders are introduced to, summarize, analyze and memorize Newton's First Law of Motion and experiment demonstrating the theory with a yo-yo. They state, sing, draw, or enact Newton's First Law of Motion several times and with...

Students explore motion by observing the movement of people and duplicating those movements. They compare and contrast various kinds of movements and identify different types of movements in pictures. They build an object that can be...

Students discover that different things move at different speeds. They compare the distance a car travels on a ramp with and without a push. They push the car with one finger the first time, let it move without a push the next time (no...

In this motion and speed learning exercise, students study the pictures and think about the speed each one moves at. Students then cut out the pictures and paste them in order of the slowest to fastest.

In this Newton's Laws of Motion crossword puzzle worksheet, students use the 13 clues and the terms in the word bank to help them correctly complete the word puzzle.

Here is a fabulous set of teacher's notes that will make your next hands-on gravity and force lab fun and interesting. These notes provide you with three activities that allow children to make and test hypothesis regarding force,...

Fourth graders apply concepts of Newton's Laws in scientific inquiries. Use this lesson to have your charges test and identify the characteristics of objects that make them easier or harder to push. After a teacher-led demonstration,...

In this forces worksheet, learners read about Newton's law of motion and decide whether pictures are pushing or pulling. Students decide the push or pull for 4 pictures.

Didn't some scientist develop rules about force and motion? Youngsters can experience physical science as they determine which picture shows the force of pushing or pulling. Tip: Ask learners if they can think of any unseen forces that...

A total of 29 word problems furnish practice in solving for work, energy, and force. A few of the questions display diagrams to help learners visualize the systems, and all of them list five choices from which they select the correct...

In this P and S waves worksheet, students use a Slinky to simulate P and S waves showing compressional and dilational motion.

Students experiment with force and motion. For this force and motion lesson, students test gravity using a variety of objects. Students rotate through a series of stations which use force, motion, friction, and inclines. Students predict...

Investigate force, acceleration, Newtons, and vectors with this learning exercise packet that starts with an overview fact sheet for reference. Learners label images as either push or pull forces, indicating if the force causes a change...
