Speed Quizzing – Motion Unit

Speed Quizzing – Motion Unit is an engaging activity to review key concepts in a unit on motion.

The resource includes 32 high-quality, editable questions that can be used for the activity or as a question bank. Teachers implement the activity by printing and cutting out flashcards, then having students pair up, ask and answer questions, switch cards and partners, and repeat. It's a lively way to prompt conversation, check understanding, remediate skills, and gather formative assessment data. Alternate group structures are provided to ensure students work with new partners each round. With little prep required, this customizable resource sparks student discussion, keeps kids engaged, and helps teachers check comprehension on a motion unit. It's perfect for middle and high school physical science classes.
