Seesaw Pattern Detective

Use your detective skills to predict the motion of a seesaw in this third-grade worksheet! Students will begin by studying pictures of two children on a seesaw. Learners are then asked a series of questions about how the seesaw moves and how the amount of force affects the pattern. 

This worksheet will encourage students to analyze patterns of motion and make predictions based on observed data. These skills are vital as learners dive deeper into physical forces and more complex concepts of movement. This activity also shows students how science can be used to explain everyday activities!
