Give your science students a focused look at gravity and orbit cause and effect with ninety questions built for real classroom use, whether you are starting a new unit or reviewing before a test.
Among the ninety questions, students will see prompts such as "What effect does increasing the mass of an object have on its gravitational pull?", "What happens to an object’s speed in orbit if the gravitational pull suddenly increases?", and "How does gravity affect the orbit of a planet around the sun?"
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 standards aligned science unit. The unit also covers Matter in the Solar System What’s Out, Classifying Solar System Objects by, Planet Profiles Size and Distance, Orbit Distance and What It Tells Us, Gravity as the Driver of Orbiting, and Orbital Motion with Gravity, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6 science classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to Virginia SOL standard 6.2.c.
