One resource I use to supplement Apologia’s Physical Science is McDougal Litell’s Physical Science textbook; here is a sample chapter. Below the links are loads of activities from one chapter. See why I think you should buy a used copy? The teacher’s edition will have tips and answers.
Here are some of the activities we do in Physical Science to help kiddos understand force and motion. They help!
1. Ping Pong ball and Golf Ball Acceleration
2. Marbles, Inertia, and Paper Plates Chalk the marbles. It’s easier to see the paths. Below is a similar activity which demonstrates circular motion instead.
3. Ball drop is more of an energy labs. Kids will not accept that the balls fall at the same rate and persist timing and dropping every ball in the house.
4. Rocket Ball Launcher or .Rocket Balls is another classic.
5. Release a balloon or try the inertia experiment.
Take a look at these quick labs.
