Learn about Isaac Newton and Gravity.
So, if gravity pulls everything down, then why don’t things on the bottom of the Earth get pulled down into space?
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina talks about gravity and explains that when we talk about gravity pulling things down, what we really mean is gravity is pulling things TOWARD the Earth. Really, it’s all about attraction.
So, what would happen if you dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time, from the same height?
Well, the hammer would hit the ground first, right? But why?
You might think it’s because the hammer is heavier, or has more mass than the feather. But it’s actually not because of that at all.
In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina shows us that the rate at which things fall to Earth has to do with something called air resistance… oh, and we take a trip to the moon.
Air resistance! It’s a thing! In this episode of Crash Course Kids, Sabrina does her own Astronaut Experiment to show us how we can prove it!

Comment Help
Remember, your comments are reflective comments just like your smiley face comments at school. You can share what you’ve learnt, what you enjoyed and ask any questions you may have. Also, don’t forget to write full sentences with the correct punctuation!
A bad example: ‘I’ve learnt loads, that was great’
A good example: ‘I’ve learnt that the Sun is in the centre of our solar system and that it is really big’
Never Use a Full Name
Use other names, but nothing silly as this name appears for everyone to see. Names that are full names or sill names will not be posted. Use abbreviations like Mr G or Miss P or your initials will do.
