Physical Science worksheets

Forces & motion, energy, matter & states, simple machines, and electricity.

Physical Science worksheets give K-8 students hands-on practice with the building blocks of matter and energy. Topics are built from the NGSS Physical Science (PS) strand and OpenStax K12 / CK-12 concept libraries, with a teacher answer key on every page.

Every Physical Science topic on this page comes with eight printable worksheet formats — vocabulary matching, fill-in-the-blank, short answer, diagram labeling, a nonfiction reading passage, sort-and-classify cards, an investigation lab, and a 10-question quick quiz. Choose the format that fits your lesson today.
