Net Force: Balanced and Unbalanced Forces Practice Problems
I created this net forces worksheet to help my students practice finding the net force and to determine whether forces are balanced or unbalanced. For the first 15 questions, students draw a free body diagram to describe the forces acting on an object. Then, they determine the magnitude and direction of net force and describe whether or not the object's velocity is affected. For the last 5 questions, student summarize how balanced and unbalanced forces affect an object's motion. I hope this l

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

Forms of Energy and Energy Transformations Practice
This activity provides students with energy practice! it starts with identifying different forms of energy in common life scenarios and items: mechanical, kinetic, potential, heat/thermal, radiant/light, sound, electrical, nuclear and chemical. It then moves on to identifying energy transformations: the starting form and the final form. The practice is best used after the "Energy Powerpoint" and the "Energy Guided Notes". I find it important to scaffhold the practice - to do a few of each type

Distance-Time Graph Practices
This is a collection of 5 practice worksheets for students to practice interpreting distance-time line graphs to help them determine areas of steady speed, at rest, and acceleration as well as calculating speed. One of the sheets even asks students to complete a chart from the graphed data. I created these and use them to teach 8th graders, but they would certainly be suitable for upper elementary, middle school and a basic practice for early high school students. These correlate perfectly wit

Tides Lab Using Water Balloons - Hands On Experience That Kids LOVE!
This lab is a really fun way to use discovery and investigation to teach students how gravity and inertia cause tides, along with the moon. The cost is low (a package of water balloons and yarn) and it is a great activity to get kids moving and outside. They work in small groups and go through a series of steps and procedures and record data. This was one of the most fun labs of the year for students and was instrumental is having kids understand why we have high tides on the side of the Earth c

Calculating and Graphing Speed - The Tortoise and the Hare TEKS 6.8C 6.8D
Need help connecting calculating speed to motion graphs?
I use this worksheet to reinforce what my students know about motion graphs and have them connect that to speed calculations. We walk through this together. I have them graph the Hare first and have them tell me what they know about his speed based on what we graphed. Then we calculate his speed and compare it to what was predicted. I do the same with the Tortoise. The we compare which parts of the graph indicate a change in speed and fina
