Newton's Third Law of Motion Practice Problems
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

Types of Forces: Gravity, Friction, Applied, Normal Force Worksheet
The Type of Forces Practice Problems includes 28 questions to help students understand the different types of forces (applied force, normal force, gravity, friction, tension, spring force) and its effects on motion. In the first part, students match the different types of forces with the definition and description. Next, students find the net force and describe what happens when balanced and unbalanced forces act on an object. Lastly, students look at different examples and determine the type

Sound and Light Wave Review
A simple worksheet I use in class for reviewing sound and light waves. Simple vocabulary and wave anatomy is presented. Worksheet is suitable for elementary or high school although it would probably be overly simplistic for a high school physics course except as a pre-test. Satisfies CA Physics Standards 4a, 4b,and 4d. Created by Rob Whitbey.

Motion Graphs: Position vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time
The purpose of the Motion Graph is to help students understand an object's motion on a position versus time and velocity versus time graph. In the position vs. time activity, there are three graphs for students to describe the position and speed of the object. Students are asked to identify the axis, describe the movement of the object, and explain whether the speed was constant or changing. In the velocity vs. time activity, there are two graphs clearly labeled to help students understand th

STEM Project, Making a Catapult: Force, Work, Power and Energy
This is an exciting, hands-on STEM project in which students make small catapults with classroom supplies and collect data to calculate force, work, power, momentum and kinetic energy. At the end of the project the class can set up and compete in mini battles with their catapults in whatever type of games you want to come up with. Some game suggestions are given.

Motion Graph: Slope on Position vs. Time and Velocity vs. Time
The purpose of this file is to help students interpret the slope of the line on a position vs. time graph and velocity vs. time graph. For the position graph, students solve for the speed of an object during different line segments on a graph. Then, they solve for the slope of the line using the slope formula (change in y/change in x). Lastly, they connect the idea that the slope of the line on a position vs. time graph represents the speed. For the velocity graph, students describe velocity

Colliding Objects Lab (Collisions)
In this lab, students collide various objects together to demonstrate Newton's 3rd Law of Motion (action-reaction forces). This was a huge hit with my 6th grade science classes because my students were "playing" with toy cars and tennis balls, while still learning the physics behind a collision. This includes all steps of the scientific method, along with a full rubric to assess students' learning.
