About
This quiz comprehensively covers force and motion concepts appropriate for 7th and 8th grade middle school students. The questions assess students' understanding of Newton's laws of motion, particularly focusing on action-reaction pairs during collisions, the relationship between force and changes in velocity, and fundamental physics vocabulary. Students need to grasp that forces always occur in pairs, understand how mass affects an object's response to applied forces, and recognize that unbalanced forces cause changes in motion while balanced forces maintain an object's current state. The quiz requires students to analyze collision scenarios, apply the concept that stronger forces cause greater changes in velocity, and distinguish between speed (scalar) and velocity (vector quantities). Critical thinking skills are essential as students must evaluate multiple collision situations and determine which objects experience stronger forces based on mass differences and velocity changes. Created by David Kang, a Science teacher in US who teaches grade 7, 8. This comprehensive unit review quiz serves multiple instructional purposes in the middle school science classroom, functioning effectively as a summative assessment tool, homework assignment, or review session before state testing. Teachers can utilize individual sections for targeted practice on specific concepts like collision analysis or vocabulary reinforcement, while the full quiz provides excellent preparation for standardized assessments. The varied question formats, from vocabulary matching to scenario analysis, support differentiated learning and help identify areas where students need additional support. This assessment aligns with Next Generation Science Standards MS-PS2-2 (forces and interactions) and supports Common Core mathematical practices through data analysis and logical reasoning applications in scientific contexts.

In which crash did the puck experience a stronger force?
The puck didn't experience a force. Only the paddles experienced force.
Crash 2: The force of the purple paddle was stronger in this crash because it has more mass, so the force on the puck was stronger,
The diagram doesn't tell you anything about the force on the puck.
The puck experienced the same force in both crashes.

In which crash did the rubber duck experience a stronger force? How do you know?
There is no force on the rubber duck. One the toy boats experienced a force in those crashes.
The diagram doesn't tell you anything about the force on the rubber duck.
The force was the same in both crashes.
Crash two because the force on the orange boat is stronger.

In which crash did the test car experience a stronger force?
Crash 1: Force on garbage truck was stronger, so force on car was also stronger.
There is NO force on the car. In each crash, only the truck experienced force.
It was the same from both crashes. The trucks changed speed by the same amount in both crashes, so the force on the test car was the same both times.
The diagram doesn't tell you anything about the force on the test car. It only tells you about the force on the trucks.
