Description
Welcome! This is a full-page test about Newton’s three laws for a physical science course.
-
In Part I, students match the scenario with the letter assigned to the correct Newton Law (Ten scenarios total).
-
Part II offers four multiple choice and two short answer questions. The questions cover the Law of Conservation of Momentum, the three types of friction, mass vs. weight vs. density vs. inertia, Newton’s second law application
-
Part III is a fill-in-the blank section where students will define the Law of Conservation of Momentum with a word bank.
-
In Part IV, students solve six problems. They will calculate momentum, force, velocity (from two different equations), acceleration, and the coefficient of kinetic friction. I provided an equation bank with a breakdown of what the symbols mean.
This PDF document will become editable upon conversion to Microsoft Word using an Adobe Acrobat Reader program. The purchasing teacher then will be able to remove the equation bank as a means to challenge students who may not need it. Teachers can also change the point values and title and use this resource as a unit study guide.
The two-page key features the answers in red font. I showcased the work for the problems requiring calculations and labeled all of the units of measurement in the intermediate steps. I also rounded the answers to honor the multiplication/division rule of significant figures.
This assessment complements the following activities about momentum, force, and friction and Newton's Laws in my store.
