First, look closely: After zooming in on the middle image of the middle row, I can see a boy holding an ice cream cone. The ice cream is melting and dripping downward onto his shoe. While the dripping is caused by gravity pulling the liquid down, the primary phenomenon depicted is the *melting* of the ice cream due to heat, which is not directly related to the forces of gravity or friction as defined for this worksheet. The worksheet asks to circle pictures that *show* gravity or friction. This image primarily shows a phase change (melting), not the force of gravity acting on a falling object or friction from rubbing surfaces.

Next, find information: Based on my analysis of all nine images, I have sufficient information to categorize them according to the worksheet's instructions. I will now synthesize my findings to provide the final answer.

Then, review the findings: I have analyzed all nine images. The images depicting gravity are: the apples falling from the tree, the character jumping/falling off the box, and potentially the dripping ice cream (though its primary focus is melting). The images depicting friction are: the person pushing the cloud, the person sliding on snow, the toy car skidding, the children on the water slide, and the person slipping on the puddle. The dripping ice cream is ambiguous but leans more toward showing gravity than friction. For the purpose of this exercise, I will categorize it under gravity.
Pictures showing Gravity:
- Apples falling from a tree.
- Character jumping/falling off a box.
- Ice cream dripping from a cone.
Pictures showing Friction:
- Person pushing against a cloud.
- Person sliding on snow.
- Toy car skidding with smoke from wheels.
- Children sliding down a water slide.
- Person slipping on a puddle.
The final answer is a list of the images categorized by the force they depict, as per the worksheet's instructions.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of gravity worksheet for kids.
