In this Grade 2 worksheet, students predict how objects will move when forces act on them. They answer four multiple-choice questions about direction changes, speed, and stopping, then complete five sentences about ramps, wheels, and rolling. Grade 2 learners practice thinking ahead, deciding what will happen to a ball, a cart, or a toy car when a push, pull, or friction force is added to the situation.
Style:
Force & Motion
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. A ball rolls toward a wall. What will the wall most likely do?
A) speed the ball up
B) stop the ball or change its direction
C) make the ball heavier
D) turn the ball into a cube
2. Which surface will let a toy car roll the farthest?
A) thick carpet
B) grassy lawn
C) smooth wood floor
D) sandy beach
3. Why is it easier to push a heavy box up a ramp than lift it?
A) the box gets lighter
B) a ramp removes gravity
C) the ramp needs less force at one time
D) a ramp adds more friction
4. You push a toy car to the right. It hits a book and bounces left. What changed?
A) the car's color
B) the car's direction
C) the car's size
D) the car's shape
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. A ramp makes moving heavy loads easier by spreading out the force needed.
2. Wheels help loads move by replacing sliding with rolling.
3. If a ball is rolling and nothing pushes or pulls it, friction will make it stop.
4. A push from the side can change the direction a ball is moving.
5. The steeper a slide is, the faster a kid will go down it.
