Are you feeling the pull?

Are you ready for an out-of-this-world experience?

Through hands-on challenges and virtual simulations, students will discover how gravitational forces are different depending on the planet and how mass, diameter and distance affect gravitational pull. Through incredible videos, innovative activities, and conversations with an actual astronaut, students will have the opportunity to build their knowledge while having fun. At the end of the unit, your students will use their new knowledge and argumentation skills to design a gravity tractor that can redirect an asteroid hurtling towards Earth and explain how their design can save the planet!
