About this printable

This resource provides labelled, coloured arrow cards for common forces (normal, weight/gravity, friction, tension, air resistance/drag, applied force) plus step-by-step 'how to use' instructions, an example diagram and reminders about arrow direction and length. Teachers can hand out pre-cut cards or have students cut them themselves to physically construct free-body diagrams on worksheets or whiteboards. It is a scaffolded, visual support intended for introduction and guided practice with vector direction and relative magnitude.
