Classify balanced forces — free printable Grade 3 Science worksheet

This Grade 3 Physical Science worksheet helps students classify forces as balanced or unbalanced and explain how balanced forces result in no change in an object's motion. Teachers can use it as a conceptual check after introducing Newton's first law, or as a guided-notes companion during a forces-and-motion lesson. It supports Grade 3 standards that require students to plan and conduct investigations to show that balanced forces produce no motion change.

Learning objectives

  • Classify forces acting on an object as balanced or unbalanced
  • Explain why balanced forces result in no change in an object's speed or direction
  • Predict the motion of an object given information about the forces acting on it
