Concept Map

Organise the vocabulary, quantities and relationships into a connected model.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Gravity: The Pull of the Earth.

Gravity is a force that pulls objects towards the Earth — that is, downwards, towards the ground.

Gravity is the reason a dropped stone falls down and never floats up. It is why a ball you throw always comes back down, why rain falls, and why you stay on the ground instead of drifting off. The pull of gravity on an object is what we feel as its weight.

Gravity acts on everything — light things and heavy things alike. A feather and a stone are both pulled down; the feather only drifts because the air pushes against it on the way.
