Which statement below correctly describes why you don’t see books and pencils in the classroom pulled toward you due to the force of gravity? 

• There is no gravity in our classroom, so we cannot see evidence of gravitational forces.

• Objects as massive as a moon or planet exert gravitational forces, but smaller objects like people exert no gravitational forces.

• The gravitational force between any two objects is very weak unless one or both of the objects is very massive, like a moon or planet.

• Sometimes gravity pulls objects together and sometimes gravity pushes objects apart.

Which of the following best explains how scientific models help us understand space more accurately?

• Models allow scientists to create exact replicas of planets that are exactly the same size as the real planets in space

• Models provide a simple way to help visualize complex ideas that would be difficult to observe directly

• Models are perfect copies of space that can be touched and held in our hands, making them identical to actual planetary systems

• Models are only useful for decorating classrooms and have no real scientific value in understanding space
