Teaching Forces next? Build your sequence from a lesson model to student practice, then check understanding with warm-ups and assessments. This Forces and Newton’s Laws unit brings the matching resources together for high school physics.
What you get
- 7 PowerPoint lesson decks: Introduction to Forces; Net Force and Free Body Diagrams; Newton’s First, Second and Third Laws; Circular Motion; and a bonus deck on what scales measure.
- 9 student assignments with answer keys covering force concepts, free-body diagrams, inertia, acceleration and Newton’s laws.
- 16 warm-ups with a separate teacher answer-key deck.
- A quiz, unit test and crossword review, each with its answer key.
- One hands-on activity and teacher key exploring how changing mass affects sliding distance.
- A unit outline to help organize the materials.
How to use it
Introduce a concept with the lesson slides, assign the matching practice, and use warm-ups to revisit ideas. Choose the sequence and pace that fit your class, then use the quiz and unit test to check understanding.
The unit covers forces, free-body diagrams, Newton’s laws and circular motion for grades 9–12. It supports work on the force, mass and acceleration relationship addressed by NGSS HS-PS2-1. Review the resources against your course requirements.
Files and classroom setup
Your digital download includes editable PowerPoint lesson and warm-up decks, plus Word and PDF versions of the assignments, assessments, crossword, activity and outline. Open the ZIP on a computer, start with the unit outline, and keep teacher answer keys separate from student handouts.
Review the activity instructions and gather the listed supplies before class. The activity compares sliding distance as mass changes; it does not directly measure acceleration.
Instant digital download after checkout. No physical materials are shipped. Questions about access? Contact info@phantasticphysics.com.
30-day money-back guarantee: If the resource does not work for your classroom, contact us within 30 days of purchase. Read the refund policy.

How our resources align to NGSS. Every Phantastic Physics resource is built for the NGSS high school physical science performance expectations. The specific standard each resource targets is listed in its product description. The reference below shows how our eight units map to the standards.
Unit 1 — Motion
The NGSS high school standards contain no stand-alone kinematics performance expectation. Our Motion unit builds the graphing, data-analysis, and mathematical-representation skills students need for HS-PS2-1 and the other force and motion standards.
Unit 2 — Forces
HS-PS2-1 — Analyze data to support the claim that Newton's second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration.
Unit 3 — Momentum
HS-PS2-2 — Use mathematical representations to support the claim that the total momentum of a system of objects is conserved when there is no net force on the system.
HS-PS2-3 — Apply scientific and engineering ideas to design, evaluate, and refine a device that minimizes the force on a macroscopic object during a collision.
Unit 4 — Gravity
HS-PS2-4 — Use mathematical representations of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Coulomb's Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
HS-ESS1-4 — Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system.
Unit 5 — Static Electricity
HS-PS2-4 — Use mathematical representations of Newton's Law of Gravitation and Coulomb's Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects.
HS-PS3-5 — Develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.
Unit 6 — Energy
HS-PS3-1 — Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
HS-PS3-2 — Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motion of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative position of particles (objects).
HS-PS3-3 — Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
Unit 7 — Electric Circuits
HS-PS3-1 — Create a computational model to calculate the change in the energy of one component in a system when the change in energy of the other component(s) and energy flows in and out of the system are known.
HS-PS3-3 — Design, build, and refine a device that works within given constraints to convert one form of energy into another form of energy.
Unit 8 — Waves
HS-PS4-1 — Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.
HS-PS4-3 — Evaluate the claims, evidence, and reasoning behind the idea that electromagnetic radiation can be described either by a wave model or a particle model, and that for some situations one model is more useful than the other.
HS-PS4-5 — Communicate technical information about how some technological devices use the principles of wave behavior and wave interactions with matter to transmit and capture information and energy.
