StrangeStar1StrangeStar1

KS3 Physics - Moons of Jupiter

(0)
This resource was designed for lower ability students. It deals with Galileo's invention of the telescope and subsequent discovery of Jupiter's four largest moons. The worksheet is designed to help students understand the link between orbital period and strength of gravity.
KS3 Physics - Gravity and Weight
StrangeStar1StrangeStar1

KS3 Physics - Gravity and Weight

(0)
This resource is designed for lower ability students. It would work well with some background video about the Apollo 11 Moon Landing. Key points are that gravity is a force attracting all masses together. Gravity pulls us towards the centre of the Earth and keeps the Earth in orbit around the sun.
