Force and Motion



The one science area that seems to give teachers the heebie jeebies is physical science! It doesn't have to be that way. There are so many great hands-on lessons, activities and games out there that will make not only learning more fun, but teaching too! Have a look at the great resources below, and take a deep breath. That force and motion unit could just become one of your favorites!!

1.  PATTERNS OF MOTION AND FRICTION.  This site has a great video, lesson plan, activity guide and much more!  It's terrific!

                                                     

                                      


Lots of links here for everything you need, gravity and magnetism, Newton's law, forces in sports and more!

                                      


LOTS of hands-on activities for force and motion here, 24 of them, in fact!

                                         



2.  Need some hands-on activities? Check these out!
