Year 7 Non Contact Forces: Gravity

Year 7 have been exploring the fascinating topic of gravity, investigating how gravitational force differs on Earth, the Moon, and across the planets. They developed their understanding of the key difference between mass and weight, and how gravity affects each.

To bring their learning to life, students tested the “gravity tins” to experience how their weight would change on different planets. The topic concluded with a fun and memorable “moon walk” activity using moon boots, giving them a real feel for what it might be like to move in lower gravity.
