Force and Motion: 5 Science Partner Play Scripts with a Comprehension Worksheet

These five force and motion partner plays are intended to be used as fluency-building activities that 4th and 5th grade students can do with a partner. Plus, since I received requests for more scripts that focus on scientific concepts, this set of scripts targets force and motion concepts, including Newton's laws, inertia, friction, gravity, potential energy, and kinetic energy.

It also includes a BONUS comprehension worksheet. After reading each script, students answer two or three comprehension questions that accompany that particular script.

This resource is available in multiple formats. Each teacher gets to choose the format that best meets his/her students' needs. You will choose between the printable partner plays and the paperless version that uses Google Slides. Each script is exactly two pages, making it easy to print them back-to-back on a single page.

These scripts require minimal teacher support, thereby allowing teachers to work with other small groups. For teachers who implement reading centers, these plays are perfect. These scripts are also ideal for parents who are looking for fun at-home reading activities that parents and children can read together. If you have a child who is reluctant to read at home, I encourage you to give these scripts a try!

This set includes these five independent scripts:

• Baseball Force (Newton's 1st law, force, inertia, friction, gravity)
• The Science of Basketball (Newton's 2nd law, acceleration, balanced & unbalanced forces)
• Collision on the Slopes (Newton's 3rd law, acceleration, mass)
• Riding with Inertia (inertia)
• Moving the Cabinet (potential energy, kinetic energy, force, inertia)
