This Grade 2 worksheet mixes fill-in-the-blank sentences and matching to build force vocabulary. Students complete nine sentences about pushes, pulls, gravity, and friction, then match four force words to real examples like a ball falling or a sled slowing. Grade 2 learners strengthen reading and science skills together and begin using words like gravity and friction accurately when they describe how objects move and stop.
Style:
Force & Motion
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A push or a pull acting on an object is called a force.
2. The force that pulls everything down toward Earth is gravity.
3. A force that slows sliding objects is friction.
4. When you tug a wagon toward you, you are using a pull.
5. When you shove a box across the floor, you are using a push.
6. An object that is not moving is said to be at rest.
7. A change in position over time is called motion.
8. A leaf falling from a tree is pulled down by gravity.
9. A sled slowing on bare pavement is slowed by friction.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
gravity
→ ball falls down
ball falls down
friction
→ sled slows in snow
sled slows in snow
push
→ door opens outward
door opens outward
pull
→ rope drops bucket
rope drops bucket
