Help your students build real understanding of gravity and inertia in space through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
The set includes questions like "Which of the following scenarios illustrates inertia in space?", "Which force is stronger at larger distances in space?", and "Which force is responsible for the curvature of an object's path in space?"
Each worksheet reviews the same core ideas from a different angle. Use them across a week or unit so students see the material three times without it ever feeling repetitive.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned earth science unit. The unit also covers What is Gravity, Modeling Orbits, Gravity and Moons, Gravity in Galaxies, Changing Gravity Mass, and Gravity Fields Visualization, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 earth science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-ESS1-2.
