Description
Are you looking for a fun activity that allows your students to practice calculating the net force acting on objects using examples with balanced and unbalanced forces? This engaging, no-prep digital escape room helps your students review finding the net force by considering all forces acting on an object.
The Google Sheet™ is self-checking. Correct answers open the locks. Once all three locks in a row have been opened, the next three questions are revealed. Opening the last row of locks will reveal a word scramble that needs to be solved in order to complete the escape room.

Each version comes with a write-in (students type their answers into the answer boxes) and a drop-down option (students select their answers from a list of available answers).
- Printable and digital recording sheets to help your students keep track and show their working and thinking
- Detailed answer keys
