What educators are saying

These are a great way to get Science in during small groups etc. Especially on the days when I can't get science in to the day.
The resources in this bundle were more than what I could have asked for! Everything was in one place and the activities kept my students engaged!

    Description

    Looking for a fun and engaging way to teach your third graders about force and motion? Then check out our Force & Motion Science Stations! These stations are NGSS-aligned and include 8 different science stations with reading passages, hands-on experiments, worksheets, and more. Students will deepen their understanding of force and motion by exploring concepts such as force (push and pull), surface types, and speed.

    Third Grade Force and Motion Science Centers Include

    Watch a Video about the Force and Motion of Swings and Slides - Students watch a video about force and answer questions.

    Play a Game about Forces and Friction - Students interact with a video game that runs a car along different surfaces. They then respond to questions about their experience.

    Investigate the Force of Air - Students investigate how a balloon moves based on the size of the balloon and answer questions about it.

    Diagram Friction and the Force of Gravity - Students draw a diagram of a slide with certain specifications, label their diagram and answer questions about it.

    Read a Passage about Push and Pull Forces - Students read a passage and answer questions about push and pull forces.

    Model Force and Speed with a Ball Track - Students model how to create a bigger force and answer questions about their model.

    Explore Wind Power - Students explore how a pinwheel moves and answer questions about it.

    Sort Push vs. Pull Forces - Students sort push and pull forces and explain their reasoning.

    Google Classroom™️ Components Include

    ► Google Forms™️ with Reading Passages, Differentiated Questions, and Links to the Videos and Games (all stations)

    ► Google Slides™️ with Activity Directions & Worksheets to record results (Investigate, Diagram, Model, Explore, and Sort)

    While we have included Google Slides, many of the stations are hands-on.

    Differentiated Responses

    Each station includes three or four different ways to respond to the experience at the station: short answer questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, task cards with short answers, task cards with multiple choice. All the variations are similar to one another. Choose the format that best fits your classroom. Students are encouraged to use their science journals. Worksheets are included as well.

    Each station is designed to last about 15-20 minutes. Students may do one a day for 8 days, 2 a day for two days, or any format that works for your classroom.

    See the preview for additional information and details.

    You might also be interested in Static Electricity & Magnetism or the Physical Science BUNDLE.

    Also available are 5E Units for Balanced and Unbalanced Forces and Patterns in Motion.

    Standards

    to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
    NGSS3-PS2-1
    Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. Examples could include an unbalanced force on one side of a ball can make it start moving; and, balanced forces pushing on a box from both sides will not produce any motion at all. Assessment is limited to one variable at a time: number, size, or direction of forces. Assessment does not include quantitative force size, only qualitative and relative. Assessment is limited to gravity being addressed as a force that pulls objects down.
    NGSS3-PS2-2
    Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that a pattern can be used to predict future motion. Examples of motion with a predictable pattern could include a child swinging in a swing, a ball rolling back and forth in a bowl, and two children on a see-saw. Assessment does not include technical terms such as period and frequency.
