Description
Do you need to teach about Gravity in the Solar System? Students will love these activities on gravity in the solar system. Students will make a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and in the solar system. Gravity and Inertia work together to keep the Earth in orbit around the Sun and the moons in orbit around their planets.
Benefits of this Gravity and Inertia Unit:
- Standards-aligned
- engaging activities
- Easy to use
This Unit Includes:
- three pages of reading passages
- comprehension questions
- lab and lab directions
- lab write-ups
- demonstration

Michelle ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Extremely Satisfied
I LOVE THIS RESOURCE. My students and I found this assignment very useful. When completed, it served as a great study guide.
This resource is aligned with NGSS MS ESS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
From the Earth’s Place in the Universe in the Next Generation Science Standards
NGSS MS ESS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
Utah SEEd 6.1.2 Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity and inertia in the orbital motions of objects in our solar system. This is part of the Structure and Motion within the Solar System.
The nonfiction passages also align with the Reading Informational Text Standards for CCSS.
Students will be able to define gravity and inertia and learn a little about the scientists who contributed to these ideas.
Science Concepts Taught in this Unit:
- Gravity
- Gravity in space
- Objects in motion stay in motion unless a force acts upon them
- Objects at rest stay at rest unless a force acts upon them
- Objects with large masses in space bend the fabric of space- we experience this as gravity
- The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational pull
- The greater the distance between objects the less the gravitational pull
- Size and distance in the universe
- Research on Planets and other Celestial Bodies in Solar System
- Milky Way Galaxy
