Classify contact forces
Free printable Grade 5 science worksheet for "Classify contact forces" — practice forces and motion. No-prep, print or assign online.
Grade 5 students classify contact forces — push, pull, friction, tension, and normal force — in this Physical Science worksheet, distinguishing each type by how and where it acts on an object. Teachers can use it after a Forces and motion lesson to help students categorize examples from everyday life, reinforcing that contact forces require direct physical interaction. It works well as a formative check before moving on to non-contact forces and the broader study of motion.
Learning objectives
- Classify types of contact forces and identify each by how it acts on an object
- Distinguish contact forces from non-contact forces and give examples of each
- Apply contact-force classification to everyday scenarios involving pushes, pulls, and friction
