Understanding Forces
Understand gravity as an invisible force that pulls objects toward Earth
Investigate how gravity affects objects of different masses
Recognize God's consistent design in natural laws
“He is before all things, and in him all things are held together.”
— Colossians 1:17 (WEB)Just as gravity consistently holds objects together, God's power sustains and maintains the entire universe
In today's BibleMouse science adventure, we'll explore the amazing invisible force of gravity! Let's see how God designed objects to interact with each other.
Gravity is a pulling force that always draws objects toward the center of the Earth. Every object with mass creates gravity, but Earth's gravity is strongest because of its large size.
Students will drop different objects and observe how gravity affects them
Simpler: Drop objects from a lower height
Challenge: Create a data chart comparing object masses and fall speeds
Recap how gravity is a consistent, God-designed force that helps our world function
Coming up: Tomorrow we'll explore how forces are all around us in our daily activities!
Gravity is a fundamental force that can be demonstrated simply and safely
Children might struggle with understanding an invisible force
