This listing features a full-page work, force, and distance problem set series for physical science. The eight mini-story problems on this worksheet present students with values for two of the variables in the work equation, leaving them to solve for the unknown variable.

In the problem set, students will solve for the work required, force, or distance of objects that need to be moved, such as a snowmobile with lousy spark plugs across a shop floor, a large rock blocking a mountainous trail, a tackling dummy at football practice, the strings of a compound bow preceding the firing of the arrow, a sedated black bear for research, two children in a sled across a snowfield, a commercial garbage toter that needs to be pulled out to the end of a driveway, and a suitcase that needs to be pulled across a very long airport concourse.

Product features:

• The top margin on both sides of the student worksheet includes the work equation next to the units of measurement for each symbolized variable.
• I also inserted the work equation set up in a triangle for students who prefer to solve problems using this method.
• I included a key with the answers in bold red font. Each answer shows the baseline equation set up for the isolated variable next to the intermediate step with the values placed in the equation.
• I rounded each empirical answer in the key to honor the multiplication and division rule of significant figures.
