- PDF
What educators are saying
Description
When I first started teaching Kindergarten, I was struggling to find activities that would help my students understand Force & Motion. Been there, too? It's a difficult concept for little learners to grasp!
That's why I created this NGSS science bundle of nine activities - to make teaching this new topic stress-free for you (and me!) and mega-engaging for our kiddos!
How can you use these 9 activities?
✏️At a Center
✏️As Homework
✏️As Independent Work
✏️During Whole Group Time
✏️As Review
✏️During Science Investigation Time
Kindergarten Science Standards:
K-PS2-1, K-PS2-2
What are the activities included?
1. Force and Motion” Emergent Reader (9 page book)
➡Have your students practice reading the words "push" and "pull" while they practice the sight words "I" and "can." They also will discover what motion each action will cause! Nine pages, doubled on each page for easy printing, copying, stapling, and cutting.
2. Poster Vocabulary Set for the classroom
➡Reinforce your Force and Motion unit with these bright, colorful, & easy to understand posters for the following words: force, push, pull, motion, position, gravity.

6. Force and Motion Folding Miniature Booklet
➡Make this foldable for your students, or guide them through it so they can take home a pocket book reminding them of the day's lesson on force and motion. Each page simply states push or pull and has a corresponding picture that prompts students to tell what happens when the item is pushed or pulled.
7. Bowling Experiment and Activities
➡“Can you move a ball without touching it yourself?” This investigation includes a pocket chart set, graphing, tally marking, counting, experimenting, & reflecting.
8. Motion Tracing Lines Activity for practice or as a writing Assessment

9. Where did the bugs go? Cut/Paste Activity Reader on Positional Words
➡This adorable 12-paged Bug themed emergent reader will keep students on task as they read the sentences in the book to determine which bug belongs on that page! Each page incorporates a positional word. Positional words incorporated are: in, beside, below, in front of, above, behind, between, on top of, next to, and under.
