Students examine the concepts push and pull. In this push or pull lesson, students identify objects that push, pull, or do both. Students then apply their knowledge in order to test toys and identify them as toys that are pushed, pulled....

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.

In this forces worksheet, students read about force and acceleration. They complete a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast balanced and unbalanced forces, they answer questions about a diagram of a tug-a-war and the forces acting on each...

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...

Students work in groups, they investigate how different forces act upon objects and how this information can be used in their day-to-day lives. They wrap the rubber band around the book. Students place the bo.ok and ruler on top of a...

In this unbalanced forces and velocity worksheet, students define 6 terms and solve 9 problems related to forces, velocity, speed, and motion.

Learners investigate questions centered around force and motion by going through the scientific process and creating fair tests and experimentation. In this lesson plan about forces-in-action, students diagram their findings and explore...

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 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...

May the mass times acceleration be with you. The presentation covers forces, Newton's three Laws of Motion, momentum, and vectors.

Kindergartners learn about the ways force can stop and reverse motion. Several illustrations of children help them determine if the motion is causing an item to change direction. Next, they conduct an experiment to see if a water balloon...

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,...

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...

An object in motion will remain in motion, and your physics learners will really get moving by viewing this PowerPoint! They examine each of Newton's laws of motion, learning about force, inertia, acceleration, and equilibrium. They are...

Physic starters spring into energy with a problem-solving learning exercise. They work with graphs, apply Hooke's law, draw force diagrams, and solve for distance, force, or mass in spring systems. There are seven problems in all.

A thorough investigation of magnetic levitation; this activity has four parts. First, physical scientists play with a wooden dowel and three disc magnets to review polarity and repelling action. Then they experiment with...

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.

In this recognizing the five forces that move objects worksheet, students identifying the movements, draw and label objects that use these forces, and draw directions of forces of objects. Students write 20 answers.

Fourth graders review the meaning of Newton's 3rd Law and discuss the forces that are acting on a book setting on a table. They draw a diagram of the book on the table and use arrows to illustrate the direction the forces are acting.

Students test different objects such as dominoes, marshmallows, slides, and more to test their force, motion, gravity, friction, and the concept of matter. In this force and motion lesson plan, students understand that the force an...

Fifth graders pull a paper clip sitting on paper with a magnet beneath the paper. They experiment to see what happens if they substitute the paper with thicker paper and other materials (plywood, glass, foil, etc.)

In this force and motion learning exercise, students answer multiple choice, true/false and fill in the blank questions about force and motion.

Second graders study force and what it does.  In this motion lesson students complete a demonstration on force and gravity and share their ideas. 

Force acts on objects in mysterious ways ... until now! A comprehensive presentation explains the balance of forces acting on objects. Learners draw free body diagrams to show these invisible forces and make force calculations.
