Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Types of Interactions, Gravitational Force. Suitable for Grade 3, Grade 4, Grade 5.
Main Concepts
The farther the distance between two masses, the weaker the gravitational force between them.
Earth is spherical in shape.
A force is a push or pull on an object.(ES)
A force has both a strength and a direction.
Gravity is a force that pulls all objects on Earth down towards Earth’s surface.
A non-contact force is a force that can act on an object over a distance.
Gravity is a non-contact force between any two masses.
The larger a mass is, the stronger its gravitational force.
While gravity appears to pulls objects downwards, it actually pulls them towards the center of the Earth.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
Why do you think when you drop something, it automatically falls to the ground? Why do you think when you jump up you always come back down? What is a non-contact force?
After the Game
What is gravity? To where is gravity actually pulling objects? What is the difference between a contact force and a non-contact force? What are some examples of non-contact forces? How does distance affect the gravitational force between two objects?
