Net Force and Free Body Diagrams Powerpoint
This lesson teaches students about the forces that act on an object (normal, frictional, gravitational, and applied) and walks them through the steps on how to draw and analyze free body diagrams. There are 4 example problems included along with video and website links to deepen understanding. You will also receive a student note sheet and foldable. This lesson does not have examples where the forces are acting in different angles (not meant for higher levels of physics) but is a great overview

Halloween Physics Color by Number Pumpkin Velocity, Acc, Free Fall
I've included both a one page portrait version and a 2 page version. Some teachers prefer the two pages because it makes a nicer picture to hang up, but it is more copying. Get your inner ghoul on, have fun doing this Halloween worksheet. It's truly frightening. Answer the questions on the question sheet and match up the answer with its color. So if the answer to number 1 matches up with the color yellow, where ever you see the #1, color it yellow. Example problems: 1. A witch is riding her bro

Free Body Diagrams
Worksheet with sixteen different scenarios where students are asked to identify the forces present in each so they can draw the relating free body diagram.
Whenever I do this, I try to demonstrate each scenario at the front of the classroom. For example, I have strings hanging from the ceiling where I can easily attach different masses, springs, pulleys, etc. in an effort to mimic the illustrations shown in the worksheet. With each demonstration, we then go through and discuss what forces are

Free Body Diagram Cut-and-Paste
A colleague had a similar activity that I “stole” this idea from. It’s such a great way to have students “play” with free-body diagrams. I tell students to do their best and try it on their own first, then we come together as a class and discuss our results. Every time they are able to get the correct answers without any “lecture” from me! That’s VERY teacher friendly!

This worksheet has different problems for students to work through with objects in free fall. In each problem, students are given 3 known variables (out of vertical displacement, initial velocity, final velocity, acceleration, and time) and asked to solve for the other two. Some variables are given explicitly, but some are simply implied (like acceleration due to gravity, for example) and must be inferred by students from reading the problem.

These coloring sheets about free body diagrams and net force are a great way to introduce students to these concepts in physical science. I use these coloring sheet as a low-tech alternative to digital resources for the flipped classroom model. Often students color the sheet and write a summary for the concept as homework the night before a lab that covers the same material the next day. This provides them some basic knowledge to help them effectively communicate about the concept during the lab

Students are amazed that by dropping objects and timing the fall, they can calculate-with incredible accuracy-the gravitational acceleration of Earth! I have students use three different types of objects so that they can understand that regardless of the object, the gravitational acceleration of Earth is not changed and remains constant. On this lab it is INCREDIBLY important to do class averages. Since there is such possibility for human error, averaging everyone’s results together provides
