Description

Want a fun way to review key terms for motion in physics? This Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion Escape Room has you covered! The study of Newtons three laws introduces a lot of new vocabulary words for students. This escape room helps students consolidate and review key terms related to Newton’s Laws of motion in physics, while also having fun.  Knowledge of different types of forces is essential for students wanting to study physics in later years.

Spice up your physics unit and make it an immersive experience with this virtual escape room suitable for middle school students in 9th and 10th grade science. Students LOVE the escape room challenges with their unique themes. It is suitable for students to complete as an individual activity or in small groups depending on the needs of your classroom.

Please watch the preview video so you can see how a digital escape room works and the type of escape room puzzles that are included to develop student problem solving and increase engagement.

What is needed to access the Newton’s three laws escape room?

Students just need access to a device with internet access. While the escape room uses a Google Form, students are not required to sign in so they don’t need an account to play. The printable version is included as a pdf so you can choose how you’d like students to complete the forces escape room game activity.

What does the Newton’s 3 Laws breakout escape room consist of?

The activity contains 8 tasks students must complete in order to ‘escape’.

These escape rooms use Google Forms (provided) where students enter their final answer for each task. The link to the escape room can be shared on your class google classroom. In the digital form, students cannot progress to the next challenge unless they enter the correct answer or secret code.

The task cards are included digitally within the Google Form, but a pdf version of the task cards and answers is also included for you.

What this Newton’s 3 Laws of motion activity escape room covers:

This escape room covers key terms and concepts related to Newton’s three laws of motion including the following terms:

• Newton’s first law
• Law of inertia
• Constant velocity
• Newton’s second law
• Newton’s third law
• Sir Isaac Newton
• Net force
• Speed
• Force = mass x acceleration
• Frictional force
• Balanced and unbalanced force

You can differentiate an escape room by setting time limits, making it a competition, allowing students to work in pairs or individually.

Note: This is not meant to be a rigorous assessment. It is designed to be a fun way to review key terms and vocabulary related to the Newton’s 3 laws.

Note: Due to the nature of the form and privacy issues of students across multiple schools completing it, you won’t receive the results of students. Since it is self-marked and they can’t progress to the next level without getting the answer correct, this isn’t usually an issue. However, if you need to see that your students completed the task for accountability, after purchasing, please send me an email at katrina@theanimatedteacherblog.com and I will send you a form just for your class with the results spreadsheet.
