Out of this World• Why do astronauts move differently on the moon than they do on
Earth?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDpwtnGS6uc&feature=BFa&list=PL68BB0B53B47E8190&lf=results_mainJumpinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM140g0zsQc&feature=relatedFalling

•Mass-The amount of matter (stuff) in an object. • Stays the same from planet to planet
•Weight-A measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object.• Changes as you move from planet to
planet due to gravitational force.

Gravitational Force-The force of attraction between any two objects
• All objects have gravity and are attracted to other objects. • What would a drop of water look like in space? • What about a candle flame?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMtXfwk7PXgWringing out a wet towel in space-molecules are attracted to any surface
Since heat can’t rise upwards
(there is no up) the flame is round.

• Gravity holds our moon in orbit around us and all the planets in orbit around the sun.

Gravitational Force• Gravitational pull
depends on the mass of the object and its distance from the object.
• Closer = more gravity• Larger mass = more
gravity

What would happen to our high tides if the moon were more massive (bigger)?
Tides would be higher because the moon would
have a greater gravitational pull on them
![Page 7: Out of this World](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816695550346895dda7a1e/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What would happen to our tides if the moon were further away?
• Tides would be smaller because of less gravitational pull
![Page 8: Out of this World](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816695550346895dda7a1e/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What would happen to our tides if the moon were closer?
• Tides would be larger because of more gravitational pull

Life as We Knew It
• Summary: A family describes what
life would be like on Earth if the moon were hit by a meteorite and
pushed closer.

Watch the tide change in Africa

Spring Tide• When the Earth, Sun, and Moon are in a straight line
(new moon and full moon) their gravitational force is combined and you have extra high and extra low tides called “Spring Tides”
![Page 12: Out of this World](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081502/56816695550346895dda7a1e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Neap Tides• When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are at a right angle
(1st and 3rd Quarter) the gravitational pull is not as strong and tides are not as high or low as normal, this is called a “Neap Tide”.

Today you will be working in small groups analyzing the motion of toys in Earth’s gravity
and then predicting how that motion would change in decreased amounts of gravity.

Slinky Waves• Stretch out a slinky about 2 feet.• Move one hand back and forth, pushing in and pulling out on the slinky. • Watch the wave travel along the slinky.

Velcro Target• Stand about 6 feet away from the target and try
throwing the balls over hand and underhand at the target. Which method works better?
10. Would this game be easier or more difficult in space?
