Gravity Scenario

Students explore the role of gravity through a series of hypothetical science scenarios. Each situation-such as dropping a wrench in orbit or approaching a black hole-requires learners to predict what would happen and explain why, using gravitational reasoning. The open-ended format promotes analysis, explanation, and application of scientific laws. A bonus challenge extends thinking by asking students to reimagine one scenario without gravity, comparing the outcomes. This activity enhances creative problem-solving and reinforces an understanding of gravitational effects across diverse environments.
