Grade 5 Gravity & Motion Quiz
A free Grade 5 Gravity & Motion quiz. Play without signing up; sign in to save your score.
Fifth-grade gravity and motion treats gravity as a pull between masses. Earth's gravity pulls objects toward its center, which we feel as weight. A ball thrown upward slows, stops, and falls because that pull is always acting. Students describe the pull and the path of a tossed ball.

What you practice
These are the Grade 5 Gravity & Motion skills this quiz is built around.
- Describe gravity as a pull toward Earth's center.
- Explain that a tossed ball's path is affected by gravity the whole time.
- Compare gravitational pulls at the same distance: a greater mass exerts a stronger pull.
A useful tip
Gravity does not switch off at the top of a toss. The ball's upward speed decreases because gravity is pulling down the whole time. Air resistance can matter too, but gravity is why the ball returns.
