Modified Science Curriculum: Physics Elapsed Time for Special Ed

This physics worksheet is modified from the middle school curriculum. It is excellent for special education students who require an alternate or modified curriculum.

There are 6 items on the worksheet. Four items show clocks and ask students to find the elapsed time. Student is required to circle figure out the elapsed time from a field of two choices, and mark the correct box.

The last two items include a tie-back question to answer questions about physics. The questions ask about accelerated and constant motion. Students are asked to circle the correct answer from a field of two.

For alternate ideas:
- student can use bingo markers to choose the correct answer
- real clocks can be used to count minutes of elapsed time


This worksheet aligns with Maryland content standards:

Math 3.C.1.c: Given a start time and end time, student will identify the elapsed time

Physics: 5.A.1 Develop an explanation of motion using the relationships among time, distance, velocity, and acceleration.
