Let’s go through each question one by one, using the word bank to match the correct definition.
Word Bank:
work, force, gravity, motion, friction, rest, newton, spring scale
---
1. “Any push or pull” — That’s the basic definition of
force.
✔ Answer: force
2. “A force that resists motion when objects touch” — When things rub against each other and slow down, that’s
friction.
✔ Answer: friction
3. “A force that pulls two objects toward each other” — This is what keeps us on Earth and makes things fall —
gravity.
✔ Answer: gravity
4. “Any change of position” — If something moves from one place to another, it’s in
motion.
✔ Answer: motion
5. “When an object is not in motion” — If it’s sitting still, it’s at
rest.
✔ Answer: rest
6. “A tool used to measure force” — A device with a spring that stretches to show how much force is applied — that’s a
spring scale.
✔ Answer: spring scale
7. “The result of a force moving an object a distance” — When you push something and it moves, you’ve done
work.
✔ Answer: work
8. “The metric unit of measure for force” — Scientists use the
newton to measure force.
✔ Answer: newton

Final Answer:
1. force
2. friction
3. gravity
4. motion
5. rest
6. spring scale
7. work
8. newton
