Introduction to Gravity
Gravity works over distance but weakens as distance increases. It is a fundamental force that governs the motion of celestial bodies.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Gravitational Attraction
Stars, planets, and moons exert a gravitational attraction on each other due to their large mass.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Orbiting Objects
Differences in gravity lead to smaller mass objects orbiting larger mass objects, such as planets around stars and moons around planets.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
Newton's law describes how every particle of matter in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Slide 22 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 23 - Open vraag

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 24 - Open vraag

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 25 - Open vraag

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
