SCIENCE WORKSHEETS GRADE 4 FORCES AND MOTION
Your fourth grader's eyes glaze over the second you mention "science homework" —...
Download Original →Push and Pull Forces in Action
This worksheet helps fourth graders identify push and pull forces in everyday activities like opening a door or pulling a wagon. Students will analyze simple scenarios to determine the direction and type of force applied.
Download Original →Friction: Slowing Things Down
Explore how friction affects motion with this grade 4 science sheet. Activities include rubbing hands together and sliding objects on different surfaces to understand how roughness creates resistance and slows movement.
Download Original →Gravity: The Invisible Pull
Students learn about gravity as a force that pulls objects toward Earth. This worksheet includes dropping items from different heights and recording observations to see how mass and distance influence gravitational pull.
Download Original →Magnetic Forces at Work
Discover how magnets attract and repel with this hands-on worksheet. Fourth graders will test various materials to see which are magnetic and explore how distance affects the strength of magnetic force.
Download Original →Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
This worksheet teaches students to distinguish between balanced and unbalanced forces. Using diagrams of tug-of-war and moving cars, kids predict whether objects will stay still, speed up, or change direction.
Download Original →Speed and Motion Experiments
Guide students through measuring speed by timing toy cars on ramps. The worksheet includes recording distances and times, then calculating which ramp angle produces the fastest motion for a fun physics lesson.
Download Original →Newton's First Law of Motion
Introduce inertia with this grade 4 worksheet. Activities show how objects at rest stay still unless a force acts, like a book on a table. Students predict outcomes when force is applied or removed.
Download Original →Forces in Sports and Play
Connect science to real life by examining forces in sports. This worksheet asks students to identify pushes, pulls, and friction in actions like kicking a ball or sliding into base, reinforcing core concepts.
Download Original →Simple Machines and Force
Explore how levers, pulleys, and ramps make work easier by changing force direction or size. Fourth graders label simple machines and explain how they reduce effort in tasks like lifting or moving objects.
Download Original →Design a Force Investigation
Encourage scientific thinking as students design their own experiment to test a force, like how surface type affects a ball's roll. The worksheet provides a template for hypothesis, steps, and conclusions.
Download Original →Push and Pull Forces in Action
Explore how pushes and pulls make objects move in this grade 4 science worksheet. Students identify real-world examples like opening a door or pulling a wagon, building foundational understanding of force direction and motion.
Download Original →Friction: Slowing Down Motion
This worksheet helps fourth graders discover how friction affects moving objects. Through simple experiments with rough and smooth surfaces, students learn why things slow down or stop, connecting science concepts to everyday experiences like sliding on a playground.
Download Original →Gravity and Falling Objects
Investigate gravity's pull on different objects with this grade 4 forces worksheet. Students predict and record which items fall faster, exploring mass and weight. Hands-on activities make abstract ideas tangible, encouraging curiosity about why everything falls down.
Download Original →Balanced and Unbalanced Forces
Teach fourth graders how balanced forces keep objects still while unbalanced forces cause movement. This worksheet uses diagrams of tug-of-war and rolling balls to illustrate net force, helping students visualize and understand the core principles of motion and stability.
