Lesson Worksheet: Gravity Science • 4th Grade
In this worksheet, we will practice defining the force of gravity and describing its effects on objects.
Q1:
Objects with greater mass have a stronger pull. Which of the objects given has the strongest gravitational pull?
- AA soccer ball
- BA bowling ball
- CA table tennis ball
- DA tennis ball
Q2:
Pick the correct word to fill in the blank: Earth’s gravity pulls objects .
- Aup
- Bdown
- Cleft
- Dright
Q3:
What force does the arrow show?
- AFriction
- BGravity
- CPush
Q4:
What is the name of the force that helps the child travel down a slide?
- AGravity
- BFriction
Q5:
Gravity is a noncontact force which pulls all objects toward each other.
Choose a word from the following to fill in the blank: The amount of gravity an object has depends on its .
- Amass
- Bvolume
- Cmomentum
- Dacceleration
Q6:
Objects with more mass have a stronger gravitational pull than objects with less mass.
Fill in the blank: The force of gravity is on the Moon than on Earth because the Moon has less mass than Earth.
- Asmaller
- Bbigger
Q7:
The force of gravity on the Moon is smaller than on Earth.

Fill in the blanks: An astronaut can jump higher on than on .
- AEarth, the Moon
- Bthe Moon, Earth
Fill in the blanks: This is because there is a force the astronaut to the ground.
- Aweaker, pushing
- Bweaker, pulling
- Cstronger, pushing
- Dstronger, pulling
Q8:
Weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object. What unit is weight measured in?
- ANewtons
- BKilograms
- CMeters
Q9:
This leaf is falling through the air. Air resistance pushes upward on the leaf.

Fill in the blank: The leaf falls because air resistance is not the only force acting on the leaf. The force of on the leaf.
- Agravity pushes up
- Bgravity pulls down
Q10:
This jar is resting on a table. The object has a weight force.

Fill in the blank: The jar does not fall through the table because the surface of the table the object with an equal force.
- Apushes up on
- Bpushes down on
