Grasping Gravity

In this STEM Kit, students will learn about gravity, physics, and space through STEM stations. Students will complete a space-time demonstration, complete a time test of falling objects, and take measurements to see how weight is impacted by gravity on earth and other planets. STEM Kits are uniquely designed to support formal or informal use. They can be implemented as quick lessons between classroom units, in afterschool programming, science clubs, libraries, and at science nights.    

Hands-on Activities: 

• Space-time, hula hoop demonstration  
• Time test of falling objects  
• Weight measurements and conversions for other planets  
• Gravity and weight matching game
