Gravity

Gravity Lab

Learning Goal 3.1: We will identify a FORCE as a push or pull that causes an object to move.

Learning Goal 3.4: We will learn what DIRECT forces and INDIRECT forces mean.

One of the different types of forces is GRAVITATIONAL force. Students will learn that gravity is a pulling force, that pulls all matter towards the Earth. They will also experiment how objects fall in airless vacuum chambers (all objects fall at the same rate). This is proven in many labs, including the NASA science lab. Here are two videos that explain this for the teacher, and the student!!
