Identify balanced forces — free printable Grade 3 Science worksheet

This Grade 3 Physical Science worksheet develops the concept of balanced forces — helping students understand what it means for forces acting on an object to be equal and opposite, and why balanced forces result in no change in motion. Teachers can use it as a formative check after a Forces and Motion lesson or as a discussion-starter that connects the science concept to everyday experiences like sitting still or tug-of-war with equal teams. The skill supports deeper understanding of Newton's first law of motion.

Learning objectives

  • Identify situations in which forces acting on an object are balanced
  • Explain why balanced forces result in no change in an object's motion
  • Connect the concept of balanced forces to real-world examples and observations
