Grade 5 gravity worksheet that contrasts mass and weight through fill-in-the-blank items about kilograms, newtons, scales, and the Moon, plus a four-pair matching task that links definitions and Earth-versus-Moon behavior so students can clearly distinguish matter from the pull of gravity in real life. Students distinguish weight from mass with Earth, Moon, and space scenarios, building Grade 5 reasoning skills with clear, focused practice items.
Style:
Gravity
Part A: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The amount of matter that an object contains is called its mass.
2. The pull of gravity on an object is measured as its weight.
3. If you travel to the Moon, your mass stays the same as on Earth.
4. On the Moon, your weight is much less than your weight on Earth.
5. Mass is measured in grams or kilograms.
6. Weight is measured in units of force called newtons.
7. The Moon's gravity is about one sixth as strong as Earth's gravity.
8. Two students with different masses still feel the same force of gravity per kilogram of their mass.
9. Even a tiny pebble has mass, so gravity still pulls on the pebble.
Part B: Matching
Match each item on the left to the correct answer on the right.
1. Match each item to its correct answer.
Mass
→ Is the amount of matter in an object
Stays the same in both places
Weight
→ Is the pull of gravity on an object
Is much less on the Moon
Mass on the Moon vs Earth
→ Stays the same in both places
Is the amount of matter in an object
Weight on the Moon vs Earth
→ Is much less on the Moon
Is the pull of gravity on an object
