Net Force: Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Practice Problems

Created by

Physical Science, Science

I created this net forces worksheet to help my students practice finding the net force and to determine whether forces are balanced or unbalanced. For the first 15 questions, students draw a free body diagram to describe the forces acting on an object. Then, they determine the magnitude and direction of net force and describe whether or not the object's velocity is affected. For the last 5 questions, student summarize how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object's motion. I hope this l

Rube Goldberg simple machine project

Created by

Nicole Bailey

This is a 2 page description/procedure/rubric for a Rube Goldberg project. I gave my class 2 full weeks to work on this. They are provided with minimal materials, the rest is gathered from home (recyclable materials, toys, etc..). A PowerPoint presenation accompanies the Rube Goldberg machine. My students LOVED doing this and they learned a lot about simple machines as well.

Paper Airplane Lab: Gravity and Air Resistance

Created by

This activity helps demonstrate some of the unbalanced forces, namely gravity and air resistance, that affect us every day. Students should predict why paper airplanes do not stay in the air forever. After testing their paper airplane, they should create a force diagram and answer some questions regarding these unbalanced forces. Materials needed: paper, meter stick Main topics: unbalanced forces, gravity, air resistance (friction). Quick, easy, and effective in demonstrating gravity and

Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations Practice

Created by

Bringing Science to Life

This activity provides students with energy practice! it starts with identifying different forms of energy in common life scenarios and items: mechanical, kinetic, potential, heat/thermal, radiant/light, sound, electrical, nuclear and chemical. It then moves on to identifying energy transformations: the starting form and the final form. The practice is best used after the "Energy Powerpoint" and the "Energy Guided Notes". I find it important to scaffhold the practice - to do a few of each type

Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems

Created by

The Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems has questions and diagrams to really help students break down and understand the meaning of this law of interaction. In the first part, students look at simple examples to describe the action reaction force. Then, they identify the magnitude and direction of the reaction force given the magnitude and direction of the action force. Lastly, they look at several examples including a spring scale, air balloon, and car collision example to explain

Bill Nye: Phases of matter video sheet. Very easy for my 6th grade EC classes, it's multiple choice answers, the last 2 are short response. This way they get a chance to watch the video and not spend all of the time on reading and answering the follow along question. Also includes absolute zero, and shows how individual molecules act when you add or remove energy. Hard time finding the video to stream try looking on dailymotion Just added an answer key.

"Inertia Games" Lab Activity - Newton's 1st Law of Motion

Created by

MS Science Spot

Students are introduced to the concept of Newton's 1st Law of Motion and inertia by completing six (6) different challenges/games in this lab activity. Example of one of the game challenges:a. Get a plastic cup, index cards, and a quarter. b. Place the index card on top of the cup so it is centered over the opening. Put the quarter on top of the index card. c. Using your finger pull the index card out from under the quarter. You are trying to get the quarter to drop into the cup. d. Compl

Tides Lab Using Water Balloons - Hands On Experience That Kids LOVE!

Created by

Candy Coated Scientist

This lab is a really fun way to use discovery and investigation to teach students how gravity and inertia cause tides, along with the moon. The cost is low (a package of water balloons and yarn) and it is a great activity to get kids moving and outside. They work in small groups and go through a series of steps and procedures and record data. This was one of the most fun labs of the year for students and was instrumental is having kids understand why we have high tides on the side of the Earth c

Distance-Time Graph Practices

Created by

Pataskala

This is a collection of 5 practice worksheets for students to practice interpreting distance-time line graphs to help them determine areas of steady speed, at rest, and acceleration as well as calculating speed. One of the sheets even asks students to complete a chart from the graphed data. I created these and use them to teach 8th graders, but they would certainly be suitable for upper elementary, middle school and a basic practice for early high school students. These correlate perfectly wit
