About this resource
Description
Force and motion are all around us, and the Labeling Force and Motion Worksheet helps 3rd grade students name what they see. Children look at six everyday pictures — a child pushing a swing, a child pulling a wagon, an apple falling from a tree, hands rubbing together, a speeding race car, and a slow-moving turtle — and label each one with the correct force or motion word from a handy word bank. It turns an abstract science topic into something kids can spot in the real world.
This force and motion labeling activity is quick to set up and easy to use. Students read the six words in the Word Bank — Push, Pull, Gravity, Friction, Fast, and Slow — then write the word that best matches each picture on the line below it. Because the answers come straight from the pictures, children practice observing carefully and connecting a science vocabulary word to a concrete example. The included answer key makes it perfect for independent work, science centers, early finishers, or homework.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 6 picture-labeling items with a force and motion word bank
There are three big reasons the Labeling Force and Motion Worksheet helps children learn. First, it builds science vocabulary by tying each term to a clear picture, so words like friction and gravity finally make sense. Second, the word bank gives developing readers the support they need to answer with confidence instead of guessing. Third, matching real examples to force and motion terms strengthens observation skills that carry into hands-on science experiments and everyday life.
To extend the lesson, take a “force and motion walk” around the classroom or playground and have students point out real examples of pushing, pulling, gravity, and friction. Ask them to draw their own picture for one of the word-bank terms, or sort classroom objects by whether they need a push or a pull to move. You can also challenge kids to add a new example under each word, turning the worksheet into a mini science journal.
