🧲 Grade 3 Science Quiz – Forces and Motion
NGSS Physical Science Aligned (PS2)
This 10-question science quiz introduces young learners to the basic concepts of forces and motion. Designed for Grade 3 students, the quiz helps children understand how pushes, pulls, gravity, and friction affect how objects move. It supports learning aligned with the NGSS Physical Science standard PS2, making it a great tool for assessing early science understanding.
he questions are written in a clear and student-friendly way, helping learners connect scientific ideas to everyday experiences such as kicking a ball, pushing objects, and watching things roll or bounce.
Topics Covered
Students will explore concepts such as:
• What a force is (a push or a pull)
• How forces make objects start moving
• How balanced forces can keep objects still
• How forces can change the direction of motion
• The effect of friction on moving objects
• How the size of a force affects speed
• How gravity pulls objects toward Earth
• How surface texture changes friction
• How mass affects motion when forces are applied
These ideas help students build an early understanding of how forces work in the real world.
Flexible for Any Classroom
