Forces Motion Practice Activities
Printable Class 2 Science and EVS activities help children identify pushes, pulls, movement, speed changes, stops, and direction changes in daily life.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn about motion
These Class 2 Forces Motion practice activities help children notice how objects move when we push or pull them. Learners connect everyday actions such as kicking a ball, opening a drawer, pushing a swing, or pulling a school bag to motion.
The printable worksheets include picture-based sorting, matching, labelling, observation prompts, and simple reasoning questions. Children practise using words such as push, pull, start, stop, faster, slower, near, far, and direction while thinking like young Science and EVS observers.
At this level, motion is introduced through familiar objects rather than formulas. Children see that a force can make a still object move, make a moving object stop, change its speed, or change its direction. A toy car rolling forward, a door being pulled open, and a ball changing direction after a kick are useful examples because children can picture or act them out easily.
From action words to cause and effect
The worksheets move from simple identification to explanation. First, children choose whether an action shows a push or a pull. Next, they match a force to what happens: the object starts moving, slows down, stops, or turns. Later questions ask them to complete short sentences, compare two pictures, or explain why an object moved. This helps them go beyond naming the action and begin describing the result.
A simple parent routine
Choose one safe object at home, such as a pencil box, ball, chair, or toy vehicle. Ask your child, “What will happen if I push it gently? What if I pull it? How can we make it stop?” Let the child try, then complete one worksheet section using the same vocabulary. End by asking them to find two more examples of forces and motion in the room.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these pages during the Forces chapter in Class 2 Science and EVS, as practice after a demonstration, or as quick revision before an oral quiz. The picture tasks work well for pair discussion, science corners, notebook pasting, and small group remediation for children who need more concrete examples.
Common errors to watch for
Some children think only strong actions are forces, so they may miss gentle pushes and pulls. Others may say an object “moves by itself” without noticing the hand, foot, wind, or slope that caused the motion. Watch for confusion between speed and direction: faster or slower tells how movement changes, while left, right, forward, backward, up, and down describe where it goes.

After the child completes the worksheet independently, parents and teachers can use the answer support or answer key information to check the work, review mistakes, and choose the next practice step.
Why iBloom worksheets help
iBloom worksheets keep the language clear and the situations close to a child’s daily life. A helpful strategy is: Look at the object, find the action, say the effect. For example, “The hand pushes the swing; the swing moves forward.” This sentence frame supports observation, vocabulary, and scientific thinking together.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
What force and motion ideas are covered in these Class 2 worksheets?
They cover basic pushes and pulls, objects starting or stopping, changes in speed, and changes in direction using familiar examples such as balls, doors, swings, toys, and bags.
Are these worksheets suitable for Science and EVS practice?
Yes. The activities are written for the Class 2 Science and EVS context, where children learn through observation, everyday examples, and simple cause-and-effect language.
How can I explain push and pull before giving the worksheet?
Use a real object. Push a toy car away and pull a drawer or bag towards you. Ask your child to say what action was used and what happened to the object.
Do children need to know measurements or formulas for these activities?
No. These worksheets focus on practical understanding and vocabulary, not calculations. Children identify and describe motion using pictures and simple sentences.
What mistakes should I check while reviewing answers?
Check whether the child identifies the action correctly, notices the object that moved, and describes the effect accurately, such as moving faster, stopping, or changing direction.
Is this Class 2 forces and motion worksheet free?
Yes. You can preview it for free and use the printable worksheet for home or classroom practice.
Can I download this Class 2 forces and motion worksheet as a PDF?
Yes. Use the worksheet download option to save a printable PDF, or print the worksheet directly from the page.
