We begin our foray into the Core Knowledge scope and sequence with a unit on:

Gravity

• Gravity: an attractive force between objects
Newton’s law of universal gravitation: Between any two objects in the universe there is an attractive force, gravity, which grows greater as the objects move closer to each other.
How gravity keeps the planets in orbit
