Record the following below your
sponge…
 The more massive the planet and
the closer you are to its center, the
more you weigh!
 Gravity causes objects to orbit!
Copy in your index…
 Weight:
Measure of the pull of gravity
 Gravity: the force that attracts objects
to one another.
 Mass: the amount of “stuff” in an
object
While you are waiting for your
