Iverna Gardens

This week we will talk about gravity, an invisible force that causes objects to be attracted towards each other. We will learn how Isaac Newton discovered gravity, and how it keeps Earth and other planets in orbit around the Sun, and how Earth´s gravity pulls things towards it, including us! Children will experiment with what happens when two objects with different weights, but similar mass, are dropped, and how air resistance opposes the direction that the object is moving in and slows it down. During the week, children will carry out many different experiments, and explore many other aspects of gravity, including in art. In drama, the children will act ‘The Baby Bird that Fell out of a Tree’
