Understanding Gravity

In Science, we have started to learn all about forces - starting off with gravity. We explored what gravity is, how it is created and the effect it has within our solar system. We also discussed how the craters on the moon have been created and because of the lack of atmosphere how they are still clearly visible as they haven't eroded away. The children in class 7 then had a lot of fun creating their own 'craters' by choosing two different weights to see what the effect would be when a different sized masses hit the surface of 'the moon' (our tray filled with flour). We also enjoyed making quite a mess!
