Name:

Date:

Objects falling with gravity arrows pointing down

🌍 Part 1: Understanding Gravity

1. What is gravity?

A force that pushes objects away from Earth

A force that pulls objects towards the centre of Earth

A force that makes objects float in the air

A force that only works in space

2. When you drop an object on Earth, what happens?

It floats in the air

It falls down to the ground

It flies upwards

It disappears

3. How strong is gravity on the Moon compared to Earth?

Stronger than Earth

The same as Earth

Weaker than Earth

There is no gravity on the Moon

🔬 Part 2: Drop Test Predictions and Observations

4. Before conducting your drop test, predict what will happen when you drop your object on Earth:

5. Record your drop test results:

Object dropped: ___________________

Time taken to fall (in seconds): ___________________

What did you observe? ___________________

6. If you could drop the same object on the Moon, how do you think it would be different? Explain why.

7. Draw a picture showing how an object falls on Earth compared to the Moon. Use arrows to show the direction of gravity.

🚀 Part 3: Thinking Further

8. Why can astronauts jump higher and move more slowly on the Moon?

9. Complete this sentence:

Gravity on the Moon is about _______ times weaker than gravity on Earth, which means objects fall more _______ on the Moon.

10. Extension Challenge: If you could visit other planets, which planet do you think would have the strongest gravity? Research and write your answer below.
