All About Gravity with Isaac Newton

Teach your little ones all about the force of gravity!

We've outlined an optional activity to help you introduce this topic to your kids in a fun way that will get them asking questions:

- Start by asking your child to jump as HIGH as they possibly can - try to touch the ceiling! Give them a couple tries. Once they're done, pose the question: "Why didn't you touch the ceiling?" For little ones, this might be a real head-scratcher!

- Next, have them hold a ball straight out in front of them and let go. Ask them: "Why didn't the ball stay where you had it?" Well, Earth has a force called gravity that pulls things towards it at all times! That's what pulls them back down when they push off the ground in a jump, and that's what pulls the ball down when they let go of it.
