🌍 Part 1: Understanding Forces

1. What is a force? Circle the best answer:

A push or pull that can change how objects move

Something that makes noise

A type of energy that creates light

A tool used in science experiments

2. Match each force with its correct description:

1. Gravitational Force

2. Friction Force

3. Magnetic Force

A. Attracts certain objects without touching

B. Pulls objects down towards Earth

C. Resists motion between surfaces

🏃 Part 2: Forces in Everyday Life

3. Tick all the examples where gravitational force is working:

A ball falling to the ground

Rain drops falling from clouds

A magnet picking up paper clips

Leaves falling from trees

A car sliding on ice

4. Fill in the blanks about friction:

Friction is a force that ____________ motion between two surfaces. Rough surfaces like ____________ create more friction than smooth surfaces like ____________. When there is more friction, objects move ____________.

5. Draw three objects that would be attracted to a magnet:

🔬 Part 3: Investigation Results

6. Gravitational Force Investigation - What happened when you dropped the ball?

7. Friction Investigation - Which surface made the toy car travel the shortest distance?

Smooth table

Sandpaper

Carpet

8. Explain why this surface stopped the car quickly:

9. Magnetism Investigation - List the objects that were attracted to the magnet:

🤔 Part 4: Thinking About Forces

10. Predict what would happen if there was no friction on roads. Circle the most likely result:

Cars would stop more easily

Cars would slide and be difficult to control

Cars would go slower

Nothing would change

11. Extension Challenge: If you added more weight to a toy car, how do you think this would affect how far it slides on different surfaces?

12. Draw a diagram showing all three forces acting in your classroom right now:

13. Why are forces important in everyday life? Give two examples:

Example 1: ________________________________________________

Example 2: ________________________________________________

⭐ Part 5: Reflection

14. What was the most interesting thing you learned about forces today?

15. Which investigation did you enjoy most and why?

Gravitational force (dropping balls)

Friction force (toy cars on surfaces)

Magnetic force (testing objects with magnets)

Because:
