Questions focus on the relationship between distance, mass, and gravitational force. There are many diagrams and graphs to analyze, making this much more than a definitions worksheet. This worksheet will challenge your students to think critically!

We have found that most gravity worksheets available are too simple OR too hard for NGSS middle school standards. Our solution was to take the available questions from middle school state standardized tests (and some of our own) and prepare them into one concise, easy-to-print document. We resized, organized, consolidated, and made the document easy to copy and correct.

Related Standards:

• NGSS MS-ESS1-2: Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
• NGSS MS-PS2-4: Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions depend on the masses of interacting objects.
• NGSS MS-PS2-5: Conduct an investigation and evaluate the experimental design to provide evidence that fields exist between objects exerting forces on each other even though the objects are not in contact.
