Description
⭐️Science differentiated reading passages about balanced and unbalanced forces for a forces in motion unit. Students will read articles to build background knowledge about the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object.
⭐️Students will read articles about Newton's Laws of Motion, and real life scenarios that have balanced and unbalanced forces such as crash test dummies, playing golf, or building a house of cards.
⭐️ This unit is perfect for 3rd grade. It was created to align with 3-PS2-1 but can be used in any classroom to teach students about balanced and unbalanced forces.
⭐️Integrates key reading skills, with a focus on cause and effect. Incorporates key vocabulary, text features, graphic organizers, and open-ended questions.
Key Features:
✏️ Build Background- Reinforce key science topics with real-life passages.
