Gravity
These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:
-
Describe how gravity acts on objects near to the Earth
-
Describe how gravity acts towards the centre of the Earth (or other astronomical body)
-

Resources all about the topic of gravity.
Gravity
Within this lesson, students will learn about the classical force of gravity, put forward by Newton. They will learn the difference between mass and weight, the equation that relates the two and perform an investigation into the strength of gravity on Earth. Students will then use a 3D model of space to better...
Seasoned astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) is on his final mission in space, while medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is making her first outing on the Space Shuttle. While they are engaged in extra-vehicular activity, debris collides into the shuttle, damaging it irreparably. Kowalsky and Stone now find...
Gravity and Light Traffic Lights
A quick revision activity, from the ASE SYCD: Science Year Primary CD-ROM, for the whole class on gravity and space.
This resource enables the teacher to assess the effectiveness of the teaching and level of knowledge and understanding in the class in an interesting and exciting context.
Apart from...
Gravity Force Lab
This simulation allows students to visualise the gravitational force that two objects exert on each other. It is possible to change properties of the objects in order to see how that changes the gravitational force between them.
The simulation can be used to:
*Relate gravitational force to the masses...
Gravity free water
In this STEM activity, pupils will perform an experiment showing how the effects of air pressure can be used to seemingly defy gravity. Pupils will fill a glass with water, place a piece of card over it and turn it upside down, giving the opportunity to discuss how and why the water stays in the glass. This...
Gravity, Gas and Stardust is the Institute of Physics Schools and Colleges Lecture for 2006 and is delivered by Pete Edwards of Durham University. The hour long lecture is aimed at 14-16 year old schoolchildren and is strongly linked to the national curriculum.
The science study series offers both the general readers and the student the writing of distinguished authors on a wide range of scientific topics - from television to geology, from crystal growing to theories about the universe.
Great Animal Songs give you fast and friendly ways into great classroom singing - just pop them up on your whiteboard and all join in.
The pack contains six great songs on the topic of animals for top primary...
