Weighing into Science

Form 5 have been exploring forces as part of their science studies. We talked about gravity and how it works with our mass to generate our weight. The children used Newton meters to measure the forces required to lift different objects from the Earth’s surface. We also discussed how our weight would work out as being much less on smaller bodies – such as Mars or the Moon – than it would be on Earth. Hence, I have booked my next holiday there…
