If you’re looking for Forces and Newton’s Laws Worksheet or lesson plans, then you’ve come to the right place! First I’ll introduce you to some fabulous, time tested resources that I’ve already prepared to make lesson planning, tutoring, or homework time a whole lot easier.
Next, I’ll give you some ideas on ways to use these Newton’s Laws of Motion and Force teaching resources to increase engagement in your classroom and to make learning fun for you and your students.
Let’s get our students reading, writing, and integrating vocabulary every day! This guided reading worksheet covers all of Newton’s Laws of Motion. After going over all three laws, this worksheet will discuss examples of each law. After, students get to practice identifying the laws in real life, and then practice using the force, mass and acceleration relationship equation, f=ma formula. Fear not teachers, there is an answer key for you as well!
In this worksheet, students will read and practice using the concept of force. There are practice problems for students to calculate the net force of balanced and unbalanced forces. Teachers, tutors, and parents alike will find this resource useful for their budding physicists!. Specifically tailored for students in grades 6-9, this is a great introduction to force. It is a great middle school science resource! It comprehensively covers force topics and includes several comprehension and extension questions that will lock in learning. This resources has an answer key included.
I spent almost a decade fighting to keep students entertained. Then, I created this line of interactive lessons to solve that problem for myself and hopefully for you too. Now my students are engaged and learning, and I am not working nearly as hard.
Keep your students engaged and accountable with this interactive, versatile force and motion presentation. Your students will be thinking critically, while also freeing you up to work on what you need to do. Therefore, everyone is happy! Embedded frequently within these colorful slides are multiple stopping points that require students to predict, reflect, connect, and think critically. This interactive presentation covers speed, velocity, friction, inertia, and force.
Let me try to convince you that the products I’m offering are worth your hard earned cash. (Or you can always apply for reimbursement through your school.)
I work hard so you don’t have to. Finding useful resources for your lesson is a lot of work. Making them is even more work. Whenever I can, I always trade money for time. A couple dollars to reimburse another classroom teacher for their efforts in creating valuable resources is seen as a fair trade according to thousands of positive reviews.
My resources are high quality. Most of my resources come in both PDF and digital format to support you in face to face, virtual, or hybrid learning models. Having multiple representations is always useful for differentiation. My resources also include an easy to use answer key and high quality image, graphics, and explanations where needed.
All of my resources are guaranteed. That means that if you’re unhappy with your purchase, I will fully refund you. My email is listed on the last page of every resource. All you have to do is send me a quick note about your experience and I can resolve the issue or refund you..
If you’re feeling a little sick and need a day to rest, the Newton’s Laws Guided Reading Worksheet would be an excellent way to allow students to work on their own (either digitally or on paper) without a lot of speaking required on your part. To make things even better, you’ll be supporting literacy in the classroom too!
Stations are a great way to make a long class feel shorter or a large class feel smaller. With this intention, split your class into groups based on the number of stations you have. One of your stations can be a setting that allows you to work closely with some students, and other groups should have work that can be completely independently. This will give you the opportunity to give the students who need support your full attention. Don’t forget that you can do stations online too!
Close reading is an essential skill that must be taught in all classrooms. Time and time again, students are showing that they are not prepared to read college level texts. Spoon feeding them isn’t going to solve this issue. We absolutely must increase the rigor in our classrooms when it comes to literacy, and teaching reading strategies is the path that will take our students where they need to be.
Differentiation can feel like a huge burden for teachers. How are we supposed to create several different variations of the same lesson or activity? In reality, we probably can’t. What we can do, though, is provide independent work packets for students who are not able to be present for direct instruction. We can make choice boards in which students will most likely differentiate for themselves, we can provide extension activities for early finishers, and we can provide extra practice for students who aren’t showing mastery.
I know as teachers we hear a lot about the benefits and drawbacks of homework. Whether or not you’re in support of homework, I’d just like to point out that it’s there as an option. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Interactive notebooks are unmatched in their ability to keep students organized and work in one place. I’m a huge fan of shrinking my worksheets down to fit in an interactive notebook. Sometimes I print 2 in one, cut them in half and just glue the sheets directly into pages of a notebook. Other times I transform multi-page PDFs into mini books (use these simple instructions if you’d like to try it) and insert the entire thing into a notebook.
Whether summative or formative, consider using these resources as an option for assessment
