8 questions with a Gardening theme plus a full answer key. Perfect for Grade 5 Science.
⬇ Download WorksheetStudents will be able to explain how gravity pulls objects toward Earth and affects plants, soil, water, and seeds in a garden.
After Q6, pass around a small potted seedling. Ask students to predict which way roots would grow if the pot were tipped sideways — connecting Zoe's buried seed-jar discovery directly to gravitropism.
- Zoe stands in her garden holding a trowel. She drops it and it falls straight down. Circle the correct word: Gravity pulls objects (UP / DOWN) toward Earth.
- Zoe finds a rare seed packet buried near her garden gate. True or False: Gravity affects only heavy objects like rocks, not light objects like seeds.
- Zoe plants her rare seeds in a glass jar so she can watch them grow. She notices roots always grow downward. What force causes roots to grow down into the soil?
