Gravity or Friction Force Worksheet

Gravity and Friction begins with short informational definitions. Gravity is described as a pulling force associated with mass, while friction occurs when two things rub together. Learners then inspect several pictures and circle the situations that demonstrate friction. The format requires applying the definition rather than simply repeating it. Comparing noncircled examples can clarify whether gravity, another force, or no visible rubbing better explains what is happening in each scene.
