Video: Getting To Know Gravity
Students learn about gravity. First stop: Earth—to discover how gravity affects people and things on this planet. Next stop: outer space—to learn how gravity affects other planets. This learning journey demonstrates the effects of mass on gravity and the difference between mass and weight in a way that is easy to understand and fun to watch.
Student Application
Discover how gravity affects people and things on Earth and how gravity affects other planets.
Learning Objectives
- Students will understand that gravity is a force that pulls all objects together. Like all forces, gravity cannot be seen.
- Students will realize that the more matter/mass an object has, the more gravity it possesses. The earth has a very large mass; therefore, it possesses a lot of gravity, which pulls all objects close to the e...

Supporting Activities
- Objects that defy Gravity? Challenge your students to find objects that defy gravity. Take this lesson outside. Encourage each student to bring an object (non-breakable) from the classroom or from home that they think won't be affected by gravity. Go outside and test them all. The teacher should bring some lighter objects including a feather or a b...
