Description
Are you looking for a fun activity on gravity? Students will love learning about gravity in these lessons.

Utah SEEd Standard 3.3.3
Construct an explanation that the gravitational force exerted by Earth causes objects to be directed downward, toward the center of the spherical Earth. Emphasize that "downward" is a local description depending on one’s position on Earth. (PS2.B)
