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!


This is a fun one called 19 Fun Ideas and Resources for Force and Motion




These StudyJams are activities on simple machines, gravity, inertia, acceleration and more!



If you want great hands-on activities for your classroom, you can't do better than Steve Spangler!!




3.  Games make learning fun! Add these to centers, or for early finishers!


20 games here!

Great games on pushes and pulls, friction, gravity, magnetism and more.




Enjoy this great site given to me by two blog readers who LOVE science named 
Choloe and Ella


Get great task cards, point points or Boom Cards that zero in on all the skills your kids need for Force and Motion!

Give Me Some Force and Motion!


If you need a unit to grab those reluctant learners and "Power" them up, you can't do better than force and motion! It's filled with experiments, plus lots of movement and action. It's everything kids could want! I've scoured the Internet looking for the best activities out there to help you get the "inertia" out of your students, and get them in motion!

These great videos and self-tests are part of the  Force and Motion StudyJam series. Students play the videos, then test themselves. It's PERFECT for centers! There are six studyJams that will not only teach your students lots, but they'll enjoy every minute of it!

It includes videos on Newton's three laws of motion.



This site has ten short videos on inertia, speed, gravity and more. Choose the number in front of the video you want, then type it in the space below the video box. Really good stuff here from Eureka. Click on the picture.



This is a great video on force and motion!



This is a great site for force and motion games!



This is a great game made specifically for 4th graders.



If you are interested in task cards, or a great PowerPoint on force and motion, check out my resource below!
