• Everything would stay exactly where it is.

• Only water would fly off into space.

• Only animals would fly off into space.

Who was the first scientist to study gravity seriously?

• Albert Einstein

• Marie Curie

• Sir Isaac Newton

• Galileo Galilei

What did Sir Isaac Newton learn about objects falling to the ground?

• Heavy objects fall faster than light objects.

• Objects only fall if they are thrown upwards.

• All objects, no matter their weight, are pulled down by gravity.

• Objects fall sideways if they are pushed.

When you throw a ball, in what direction does gravity pull it?
