Investigation 2 - Zoom Balls

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...

Get the ball rolling with this upper-elementary science unit on forces and motion. Offering over three weeks of physical science lessons, this resource is a great way to engage the class in learning about simple machines, friction, the...

Follow-up a physical science lesson with a reading passage that connects sports to force. Readers respond to six short answer questions that requires them to use the text as a basis for the answers.

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...

May the force be with you! Learn how to present the content of PS2A, Forces and Motion, using the strategies in the video. With fun scenarios that include Angry Birds and toilet paper, demonstrating the relationship between force, mass,...

Third graders study the forces of push and pull on motion

How do you show change occurring in a non-moving object? Gain some insight into NGSS standard PS2C, Stability and Instability in Physical Systems, in a resource for educators. The narrator guides you through the core components of the...

Third graders will use Zoom Balls to understand how sometimes both forces of push and pull need to be used at the same time.

Understand the effect of the forces of push and pull on motion.

Compare the forces of pushing and pulling.
