What educators are saying

My students had a lot of fun with the jumping. The weather was nice enough for us to do it outside. I am still looking for ways to continue referencing it. I did it with 9th grade and it worked well. Not exactly "high level" but still a good introduction to gravity.
This was a great lab to introduce Newton's Laws and reinforce our discussion of planets from our space unit! Highly recommend this lab if you need an easy, low cost/no cost lab for your classes!! Thank you for the resource!!

Description

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ A classic fun lab activity made for secondary science students! Editable MS Word, PDF, and Google Slides versions included! Students learn mass, weight, and gravity and then calculate their weight and jump length at various locations in the solar system.



This Lab is Broken Down Into 5 Different Tasks ⭐
Task 1- Pre-Lab: Students watch a short modern video about mass, weight, and gravity, and answer questions.

Task 2 - Weight On Other Planets: Student calculate their weight using the force of gravity at various locations in the solar system. Easy calculations - simply multiply.

•Task 3 - Jump Records: Student broad (frog) jump from a predetermined starting point and calculate their average jump on Earth.

Task 4 - Calculating Jump Length on Other Planets: Students calculate how far they can jump on other locations in the solar system.

Task 5 - Analysis and Conclusion: Students answer eight analysis and conclusion questions.




⭐ All the materials you need are meter sticks (1 per group), a few pieces of masking tape, and access to an electronic to make calculations and watch the video.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSHS-ESS1-4
Use mathematical or computational representations to predict the motion of orbiting objects in the solar system. Emphasis is on Newtonian gravitational laws governing orbital motions, which apply to human-made satellites as well as planets and moons. Mathematical representations for the gravitational attraction of bodies and Kepler’s Laws of orbital motions should not deal with more than two bodies, nor involve calculus.
NGSSMS-ESS1-2
Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system. Emphasis for the model is on gravity as the force that holds together the solar system and Milky Way galaxy and controls orbital motions within them. Examples of models can be physical (such as the analogy of distance along a football field or computer visualizations of elliptical orbits) or conceptual (such as mathematical proportions relative to the size of familiar objects such as students’ school or state). Assessment does not include Kepler’s Laws of orbital motion or the apparent retrograde motion of the planets as viewed from Earth.
