What educators are saying
Completely aligned with MS-PS2-4. Practice with graphing and seeing patterns in order to understand relationships.
This is a great resource. I used for review in most of my classes. My students find very helpful and understandable.

This gravity activity has students investigate the particles of Saturn's rings to determine the relationship between mass and gravity, and distance and gravity. There are several sections:
- Part 1: Introduction
- Part 2: Provides a data table of ring particles' masses and gravitational forces. Students analyze the data table for trends and then graph the data on a provided graph.
- Part 3: Provides a data table of ring particles' distances from Saturn and gravitational force. Analyze the data for trends and then graph the data on a provided graph.
- Part 4: Several analysis questions, including a claims/evidence/reasoning table, all of which focus on the relationship between mass and gravity, and distance and gravity.
Teacher Notes:
- This activity is DIFFERENTIATED: Two versions are provided - one with the graph axes pre-labeled and one where the students must label the graph axes themselves. This activity is appropriate for upper middle school and high school.
- This activity is 6 pages long (3 front/back). Each specific section is exactly 1 page front and back, so it is convenient to copy and complete one section at a time.
- Although this activity has a space-based theme, it is appropriate for any unit covering gravity.
- Includes answer key.
- Please note: This resource is NOT editable.

NGSSMS-PS2-4
Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects. Examples of evidence for arguments could include data generated from simulations or digital tools; and charts displaying mass, strength of interaction, distance from the Sun, and orbital periods of objects within the solar system. Assessment does not include Newton’s Law of Gravitation or Kepler’s Laws.
NGSSMS-ESS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. Emphasis for the model is on gravity as the force that holds together the solar system and Milky Way galaxy and controls orbital motions within them. Examples of models can be physical (such as the analogy of distance along a football field or computer visualizations of elliptical orbits) or conceptual (such as mathematical proportions relative to the size of familiar objects such as students’ school or state). Assessment does not include Kepler’s Laws of orbital motion or the apparent retrograde motion of the planets as viewed from Earth.
NGSSHS-PS2-4
Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. Emphasis is on both quantitative and conceptual descriptions of gravitational and electric fields. Assessment is limited to systems with two objects.
