Strong Forces Game

This NGSS-aligned word sort activity for K-3 students focuses on comparing the strength of different magnetic and electric forces. Students categorize 12 items into Strong Forces and Weak Forces, helping them understand that not all magnetic and electric interactions have the same intensity. The activity includes examples ranging from powerful electromagnets and industrial magnets to gentle static electricity from balloons and wool sweaters. This classification exercise helps students develop critical thinking skills while learning about force magnitude in non-contact interactions. Perfect for hands-on science exploration in elementary classrooms.
