Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.17 Model Gravity in Diagrams skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
A challenge diagram shows five objects: one above the top of Earth, one on the right side, one on the lower-left side, one above the lower-right side, and one on the upper-left side. Which full pattern of gravity arrows is correct in that order?
ADown, right, up-left, down-left, down-right
BLeft, left, up-right, up-left, right
CUp, right, down-left, down-right, up-left
DDown, left, up-right, up-left, down-right
Solution & Explanation:Each arrow must point inward toward Earth's center: down from above the top, left from the right side, up-right from the lower-left side, up-left from above the lower-right side, and down-right from the upper-left side.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
A globe diagram marks four locations: top, right, bottom, and upper-left. The teacher asks students to label the local direction of "down" at each place. Which answer is correct?
ATop down, right down, bottom down, upper-left down
BTop up, right left, bottom down, upper-left up-left
CTop down, right left, bottom up, upper-left down-right
DTop down, right right, bottom up, upper-left up-left
Solution & Explanation:In a correct gravity model, local down means toward Earth's center from each location.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
Which description best matches the kind of model students use for NGSS 5-PS2-1 in this skill?
AA model that shows only objects moving in straight lines
BA model that uses force arrows to show Earth's gravitational pull on objects at different places on Earth and near Earth
CA model that uses only temperatures and weather symbols
DA model that labels objects by color instead of force
Solution & Explanation:This skill focuses on using models with force arrows to show the direction of Earth's gravitational pull on objects in different positions.
