Make net force simple and clear with diagram-based practice! This
TEKS-aligned resource helps students calculate net force and decide
if forces are balanced or unbalanced.

What’s Included

• Information Gap Exercise

• Short Answer Exercise

• Exit Tickets

Concepts Covered (TEKS 6.7B)

• Calculating net force
  using force diagrams

• Understanding balanced
  forces (net force = 0)

• Understanding unbalanced
  forces (net force ≠ 0)

• Describing how net force
  affects motion (change in speed or direction)

How It’s Useful

• Great for practice before labs,
  quizzes, and STAAR-style questions

• Works well in small groups,
  stations, or independent work

• Exit tickets quickly show who
  can interpret force diagrams correctly
