Description
How to Teach Force and Motion Vocabulary
These force and motion word wall flash cards give students the key science words they need during a force and motion unit. Each card shows a word, such as force, gravity, friction or magnet, with a short, kid-friendly meaning right under it. Posted on a word wall, the cards help students read, spell and use science vocabulary in their talking and writing. The set fits 2nd through 5th grade, and an answer key is included.
How to Use the Word Wall Cards
Print the card sheets and cut on the dashed lines. Post the cards on a word wall, or punch a hole in each card and keep them on a ring for a science center. Students read a word, read its meaning, and then use the word in a sentence or show it with a toy. A practice worksheet asks students to match eight meanings to the right words from a word bank.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep and steps
- 16 word-wall cards: force, push, pull, motion, speed, direction, position, gravity, friction, balanced forces, unbalanced forces, magnet, attract, repel, balance and stable
- A 3rd grade vocabulary practice worksheet with a word bank
- A card list answer key and a practice answer key
Why These Science Vocabulary Cards Help Kids
First, these science vocabulary cards keep important words in front of students all unit long, so they use them instead of guessing. Second, each short meaning gives students a clear way to explain the word in their own language. Third, seeing and reading the words often builds the spelling and vocabulary students need for science tests and lab writing.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the force and motion word wall flash cards to start each science lesson with a quick word review. Students can sort the cards into force words and motion words, or play a guessing game where one partner reads a meaning and the other names the word. At home, find examples of pushes, pulls and friction around the house and name them with the cards.
