Identify contact forces — free printable Grade 5 Science worksheet

Fifth graders identify contact forces — push, pull, friction, tension, and normal force — in this challenging Physical Science worksheet on forces and motion. Teachers can use it to help students classify the forces acting on objects in everyday situations before they begin calculating the effects of those forces. Identifying force types accurately is a foundational skill for understanding Newton's laws and predicting motion.

Learning objectives

  • Identify and name contact forces present in given real-world scenarios
  • Distinguish contact forces from non-contact forces such as gravity or magnetism
  • Explain how each contact force acts on an object and affects its motion
