This week we have found out about the force of gravity. We discussed how the gravity is a non-contact force and can’t be seen, but we know that it is there, pulling us towards the earth and stopping us from floating off into space. We carried out an investigation to find out what happens when a ball falls from different heights. We measured and recorded the height of the bounce when dropped to see if the height it falls from makes a difference to the bounce. We found the greater the height of the drop, the greater the bounce!
