Physics Bell Ringers Unit 2 - 45 Daily Warm-Ups (Grades 9-12)

Start every class with a focused five-minute warm-up. This is Unit 2 of the Physics Bell-Ringers full-year set: 45 daily prompts covering Forces, Newton's Laws & Momentum.

WHAT'S INSIDE

- 45 daily bell-ringers (Weeks 10-18), organized as nine ready-to-print weekly pages

- One page per week: five prompts, Monday through Friday, with answer space

- A complete answer key for every prompt

- A standards page listing the NGSS and CCSS literacy codes and content covered

TOPICS

- Force and free-body diagrams, Newton's first law and inertia, Newton's second law, Newton's third law and action-reaction pairs, mass and weight and the normal force, static and kinetic friction, uniform circular motion and centripetal force, universal gravitation and orbits, and momentum, impulse and collisions.

WEEKLY ROUTINE

- Monday vocabulary, Tuesday a short reading, Wednesday an analysis question, Thursday a quick check, Friday a claim-and-evidence question

- About five minutes a day; hand out Monday, collect Friday

FORMAT

- Print-first PDF, US Letter, low-ink, two-sided friendly - no logins or apps required

- Reading passages are original writing - no copyrighted text to clear, and no textbook required

- Every calculation resolves to a clean value, so a Wednesday prompt stays a five-minute warm-up rather than turning into a problem set

- Grades 9-12; works as a daily opener, an exit slip, spiral review, or emergency sub work

ALSO WORKS WITH

- Teaching Chemistry too? The Chemistry Bell-Ringers set is the other half of the high school science shelf and runs the same weekly routine.

- Teaching Grades 6-8 as well? The Physical Science Bell-Ringers set covers forces, energy and waves at the middle-school level and is the on-ramp to this one.
