What Factors Affect Gravity?

Students explore the relationship between mass, distance, and gravity in this middle school science worksheet! Students will be introduced to key vocabulary terms and then will calculate the weight of an object on different planets in order to answer critical thinking questions. Then, to take their learning one step further, young scientists will compare the force of gravity between Earth and the moon and Earth and Jupiter, using the information to draw conclusions about the relationship between gravity, mass, and distance. Keep exploring forces and interactions with the Newton's First Law of Motion and Newton's Second Law: Mass, Force, and Motion worksheets!
