Moon Jumps

Our first Science topic this term is Space. We have been learning about gravity and how this affects the weight of objects on different planets. Gravity is what keeps all of us on the ground, the planets in their orbits and the galaxies spinning. Without gravity, everything would be floating around aimlessly and nothing would be able to stay on the earth. We calculated how far we can jump (in centimetres) and multiplied this by 6 to see how far we would jump on the moon. The furthest jump in our class was 200cm which is equivalent to 1200cm on the moon!
