Playing with Forces: Gravity the Force that Pulls us DOWN!
Students will access the Science Focus Web Site that allows them to play with different values for gravity, found on the different planets.
They will observe if the gravity has the same effect or different on balls of a different weight (mass).
They will then use the force game to determine what happens when different forces are applied to an individual.
Both games should help you understand:

They will then use the force game to determine what happens when different forces are applied to an individual.
Both games should help you understand:
- That gravity is a force that acts the same on all masses. (they all accelerate at the same rate.)
- Forces can be combined to change its direction. This can be shown by popping the balloons.
