1. Powerpoint, Guided Notes and Assessment
Do you need a resource to introduce forces and motion? This resource contains a PowerPoint lesson with Cornell notes style guided notes and an assessment that all tie together. This resource is excellent for traditional and digital interactive science notebooks. The PowerPoint and guided notes are also included in Google Slides which make this a perfect digital resource for online learning! There is also a self-grading Google Forms assessment. This is a no prep resource!
The PowerPoint Lesson and guided notes are broken up into 4 different parts:
❔ Engage: This is a question that is used to get students thinking and engaged before the lesson begins. They answer the question in their guided notes.
☑ Checkpoints: These are questions throughout the lesson that assess what students are learning as they go through. The student’s answer these questions in their guided notes. Answer key is included in the PowerPoint.
↵ Bringing it Back: This final question wraps up the lesson by tying student’s new knowledge with the engagement piece.
✐Summarize! Students can summarize their learning by writing, drawing or both.
All links for the Google Slides and Google Forms are included in the resource.
The PowerPoint is editable. The titles, images and clip art are not editable.
Guided Notes:
The Cornell style guided notes follow along with the lesson. This allows the students to go through the lesson with the class as the teacher goes through the slides or they can fill it out independently if they are using the PowerPoint digitally. All the text aside from the title and cover page are editable.
Includes two cover pages for interactive notebook booklets. One in color and one in black and white.
The Google Slides version of the notes includes text boxes for students to add in their own text. A Google Slides “toolbox” is included for students to reference to for changing fonts, adding images, drawings, etc. There are even drag and drop highlighter marks for students to make their notes more interactive.
*There is an included answer key for the guided notes to be easily printed and added to a teacher’s copy of an interactive science notebook.
Assessment:
The assessment contains 20 questions with a mix of vocabulary matching, short answer and multiple choice questions. An answer key is included. Everything is editable except for the title and any included clip art lip art.
A Google Slides version is included as well as a self-grading Google Forms version. The links are included in the resource.
2. Task cards
These 24 editable forces and motion task cards can be used in a classroom or digitally for distance learning through Google Forms with no prep and self grading! They can be easily printed, cut and laminated for use in the classroom with a ready-to-print student answer sheet.
The link for Google Forms is available in the resource as well as an answer key.
Task cards can be printed 1 per page or 4 per page. The answer sheet can be printed 1 per page or 2 per page to save paper. I typically print 2 per page so they’re perfect for gluing into interactive science notebooks.
The text is editable in each task card but the titles and clip art are not editable. The task cards are images in google forms so they are not editable if you are using the digital option.
3. Warm Ups
Students have options in how they apply their knowledge of scientific method, investigations and inquiry through choice. There is differentiation with the activities so students can have autonomy with their learning and presentation of knowledge.
This choice board is editable to suit the needs of you and your students. Students can also submit most of the activities digitally through Google Classroom or Canvas. The title and clip art are not editable.
General teacher directions and the choice board are included in PowerPoint format for easy editing. There are no rubrics included within the resource for their individual choice activities.
Options include:
✅ Creating a video or skit.
✅ Creating a brochure
✅ Live or recorded lesson
✅ Poster or PowerPoint
✅ Podcast
✅ Creating a lab
✅ and more!
4. Digital Google Slides and Print Activities
This is a print and digital resource that uses Google Slides. There are 6 interactive activities to net force, Newton’s laws of motion and balanced/unbalanced forces.
Students will review vocabulary, Newton’s laws, create their own scenarios, calculate net force and practice identifying balanced and unbalanced forces.
The activities include either drag and drop or short answer text. Watch the preview video to get a better idea of how each slide works.
The slides are not editable. Answer key is included in the PDF as well as the Google Slides link.
5. Choice Board
Students have options in how they apply their knowledge of scientific method, investigations and inquiry through choice. There is differentiation with the activities so students can have autonomy with their learning and presentation of knowledge.
This choice board is editable to suit the needs of you and your students. Students can also submit most of the activities digitally through Google Classroom or Canvas. The title and clip art are not editable.

Options include:
✅ Creating a video or skit.
✅ Creating a brochure
✅ Live or recorded lesson
✅ Poster or PowerPoint
✅ Podcast
✅ Creating a lab
✅ and more!
6. Calculating Average Speed Running Lab
This interactive lab allows students to learn about calculating and graphing average speed by calculating their own average running, walking or jogging speed! This lab ties in with any forces and motion unit with very little prep!
They will review:
⭐Calculating Average Speed
⭐Graphing Constant Speed
⭐Motion, Speed and Position
Lab sheet with instructions for completing the lab is included.
This lab is not editable.
7. Newton’s Laws of Motion Stations Activities
Do you need differentiated newton’s laws of motion stations activities for your forces and motion? Perfect for a middle school physical science class studying properties of matter, pure substances and mixtures, this resource will help you reach and assess your students in a multitude of ways. This resource includes 7 stations with minimal prep involved. There is a printable version, editable PowerPoint version and a Digital Google Slides™ version that will help you save on time and paper!
The 7 types of stations include:
1. Discover – Students will research information about Newton’s Laws and how astronauts experience each of them in microgravity.
2. Observe – Students will push an empty cart and then push a cart full of heavy objects to explain Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion.
3. Experiment – Students will perform a mini experiment in which they use a balloon, straw and tape to demonstrate Newton’s 3rd Law.
4. Write – Students will explain their answers in 2-3 sentences.
5. Create – Students will draw an example of each of Newton’s Laws of Motion and explain it.
6. Sort – Students will sort scenarios to match the appropriate law of motion.
7. Quiz – Students will answer a mix of 8 true/false, multiple choice and short answer questions.
*Each station should take students between 8-10 minutes to complete.*
The RESOURCE includes:
- Digital Google Slides™ link to perform stations online.
- Printable version of stations in color and black/white
- Editable PowerPoint version of stations.
Content covered:
⭐ Newton’s 1st Law of Motion
⭐ Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion
⭐ Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion
*Please note that the instructions for stations are editable but clip art, special fonts and formatting are not.*
