Help your students build real understanding of real life applications through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about how the Earth works.
Students will answer questions such as "Which scientific law is essential for understanding how satellites remain in orbit?", "What would happen if Earth's gravitational force increased suddenly?", and "What could be a consequence of losing GPS signals?"
Because the three worksheets share the same content in three different formats, you can spread them across the week: one for diagnosis, one for practice, and one for assessment, without repeating a single question.
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, Gravity and Inertia in Space, and Changing Gravity Mass, 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.
