Flexi Physics - Reading Tasks

We are learning about gravity. We used Dropper Poppers and Boinks to see if gravity will bring them down.

I enjoyed playing with the dropper poppers.
I found it easy to use the boinks.
I found it tricky to fill in the questions.
My digital learning object shows that I can embed things onto my blog.

Gravity

We are learning about gravity. I took some videos of the gravity working with Boinks and Dropper Poppers.
I enjoyed playing with the boinks and dropper poppers.
I found it easy to write my writing.
I found it tricky to use line breaks.
Next time I will use more line breaks.
My digital learning object shows that I can copy and paste my work onto my blog.
Here is my writing and videos.

Gravity


If you throw a ball into the air what will it do? It will fall down right?  But why doesn't it not float into space?

Gravity
The reason for this is a force called gravity. Gravity is a force that keeps us on the ground. Gravity is like super glue and holds us down.

Force
A force is a push or a pull. Gravity is a force that pulls us down so we don't float into space.

Boinks
Boinks are a flexible spring-action toy. If you push down a boink, a force will be created. When you let go it will fly up then gravity will pull the boink down.

Dropper popper
A dropper popper is a toy that looks like a dome. If you invert drop the dome with a ping pong ball, the ping pong ball will spring into the air and then gravity will pull it down.

Conclusion
No matter where you throw the ball, it's going down! The effect is a person or a thing that acts in the way that some specific thing happened as a result. Gravity is the cause and effect of everything coming down. Eventually everything is coming down.
