Gravity


Welcome to our In the Know topic for the month of December, Gravity. You may wish to take a look at other grade spans and recommend articles to students who are below or above their grade’s reading level.

Grades K-1 students learn that gravity is a force that pulls things to Earth. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here. Additionally, Grades K-1 students will learn about static electricity. A Spanish translation of the article may be found here.

Grades 2-3 students learn that gravity is what keeps us on the ground and what makes things fall. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.

Grades 4-5 students learn that objects with more mass have more gravity pulling on them. A Spanish translation to the article may be found here.
