What age are motion and speed worksheets for?

These are written for 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 7-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Are these motion and speed worksheets aligned to NGSS?

Yes. Each one shows the NGSS code it covers on its own page, so you can check the alignment yourself rather than taking our word for it.

Can I use these motion and speed worksheets for homeschool?

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.

2nd Grade Motion and Speed Worksheets

Ages 7-8 · Free previews · Print-ready PDFs

Written by Adi Ackerman, Head Teacher

Motion and speed worksheets introduce Grade 2 students (ages 7-8) to the basics of how objects move, how speed is measured, and how forces affect the motion of objects. Children learn to describe motion using direction and speed vocabulary and conduct simple speed comparisons. These pages build the foundational physics vocabulary that students will use through high school and beyond.
