On Earth, gravity keeps the air around us (and everything else) from drifting off into space. Gravity pulls
on everything—every rock, every grain of sand, every leaf and every person.
One day, according to
a ___________ story,
a man named Sir Isaac
Newton was _______
under an apple tree.
An apple _______ on
his head, and he
suddenly __________
of the law of gravity.
Your weight is determined by the pull of gravity
on your body. If you weigh 60 pounds, then the
pull of the Earth’s gravity on you is 60 pounds.
The weight of a box tells how much
gravity pulls on the box.

I Before E or
E Before I?
Look through news
articles for words that
have the letters i and e
next to each other. In
the table below, list the
words spelled with the
i before the e in the left
column. In the right
column, list the words
spelled with the
e before the i.
The moon and the planets all have
gravity. The moon has less gravity than
Earth. That means you would weigh less
on the moon, because less gravity pulls
on you. If you weigh 60 pounds on
Earth, you would weigh 10
pounds on the moon.
How many pounds would a
60-pound person weigh on each of
these planets? Do the math to discover
the answer.
