Define gravity in your own words, based on what you learned in the video.

Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass.

Explain why astronauts on the International Space Station experience less gravity than people on Earth, even though they are still in Earth's orbit.

Astronauts experience less gravity because they are farther away from the Earth's surface. Gravity weakens with distance.

The lead ball would exert a stronger gravitational pull because it has more mass.

Key concepts students will learn:

•
Sir Isaac Newton developed the theory of gravity after observing an apple falling from a tree.
•
Gravity is the force of attraction between objects with mass, pulling them together.
•
The strength of gravity depends on an object's mass and distance; greater mass and closer distance result in a stronger gravitational pull.
