Earth Science Unit 1 Day 2 continued

Learning Objective: Students will learn about gravity by doing an inquiry-

based simulation and will analyze and interpret data in writing using technical 

vocabulary (gravitational pull, force, gravity, mass, density).


Questions:

1. What causes the orbit of the planets? (book or brain)
2. What do you predict would happen if the size of the sun changed? (brain)
3. How is gravitational force affected by mass and distance? (book or brain)

Exit Ticket for Day 2 part 2: How would you explain gravity to a classmate? What technical vocabulary words would be most important and why?
