Identify acceleration — free printable Middle School Science worksheet

Middle school students investigate acceleration by examining how forces cause changes in an object's speed or direction, developing a precise understanding of this key physics concept. Teachers can use this worksheet during a forces and motion unit to help students distinguish acceleration from speed and connect it to Newton's second law. Grasping acceleration quantitatively prepares students for the more complex mechanics problems they will encounter in high school physics.

Learning objectives

  • Identify acceleration as a change in speed, direction, or both
  • Explain how the net force on an object determines its acceleration
  • Interpret acceleration in given scenarios using the relationship between force and mass
