This resource turns weight and mass into a complete, ready to use review for Grade 6-8 physics, covering the same idea from three different angles.
Students will answer questions such as "On the Moon, an object's weight is less due to lower gravity. What happens to its mass?", "Which of the following is true about mass?", and "What is the effect of reducing gravity on a planet on an object's weight?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned physics unit. The unit also covers Gravity Basics, Earth and Moon Gravity, Modeling Orbits, Mass and Distance Effects, Free Fall and Air Resistance, and Gravity in Space Travel, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-PS2-4.
