Set up a ramp using books or a board. Have kids release different objects (marbles, toy cars) from the top of the ramp and see which one reaches the bottom first. Discuss how gravity affects the speed of rolling objects.See how to set it up withtoy cars,pumpkins,applesandplastic Easter...
Learn about the gravity and the force that keeps us firmly planted on the ground with hands-on and engaging activities for kids. Check out these funpreschool gravity activitiesandgravity experiments for elementary and older. HEAT ABSORPTION Investigate what colors absorb heat better with this easy t...
Because all matter has mass, and air is a type of matter, air has mass which when combined with gravity means that air has weight. You can see this with a simple experiment. Blow up two balloons, tie them and attach them to opposite ends of a straw with short pieces of string. Using...
This final kids science experiment is going to test the difference between the extremes of black and white; however, we recommend you repeat the process with all of your favorite colors! Pro Tip: Get a pad of various colored construction papers, all of the same thickness. You can also try ...

the 5-meter asteroid orbited our planet three times. Asteroid 2020 CD3 was also captured by Earth's gravity for an extended period. When researchers identified the 1-meter object in February 2020, they estimated that it had been orbiting the planet for about a year before it was flung back...
DIY Parachutes Science Experiment for Kids Another great project to teach kids about gravity. These small parachutes are really easy to make using bags and cups. Once they get to drop them from a high place – which is a fun activity itself, kids might be able to understand the mechanism ...
apple as it then swings back towards you. The apple will not hit you in the face, although it looks like it will. Some of the kinetic energy that causes the apple to move is now converted to potential energy due to gravity. This causes the apple to slow down as it continues to ...
Theweight of an object depends on gravity. Your weight would be less on the moon as there is less gravity, but your mass would stay the same. You can do lots of very cool demonstrations to demonstrate density in a fun, hands-on way. ...
