About this resource
This quiz comprehensively covers Newton's Laws of Motion, a fundamental physics topic appropriate for grades 7-9. The questions assess students' understanding of all three laws of motion along with related concepts including force, mass, acceleration, inertia, friction, and net force. Students need to demonstrate both conceptual knowledge and computational skills, including the ability to identify which law applies to real-world scenarios, memorize and apply the formula F=ma, calculate force using given mass and acceleration values, and understand the relationships between balanced and unbalanced forces. The quiz requires students to connect abstract physics principles to everyday situations like skateboarding accidents, spilled coffee during sudden stops, and balloon propulsion, demanding higher-order thinking skills that bridge theoretical knowledge with practical applications. Created by Marc Seccia, a Science teacher in US who teaches grade 7 and 9. This quiz serves as an excellent formative assessment tool that can be deployed during multiple phases of instruction on Newton's Laws. Teachers can use this as a pre-assessment to gauge prior knowledge, as guided practice during lessons to reinforce key concepts, or as a review activity before summative assessments. The variety of question formats—from vocabulary matching to scenario analysis to mathematical calculations—makes it ideal for differentiated instruction and helps identify specific areas where students need additional support. The quiz aligns with NGSS standards MS-PS2-2 and HS-PS2-1, which require students to analyze and interpret data on the factors that affect the strength of forces, and use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system remains constant when there is no net force.
