20 SECS Good day Grade Six learners!
What a wonderful day to learn! As I always say,
a brand new day means a new learning
Gravitational Force | 2
opportunity!
This is Science Grade 6, the world of
exploration, discovery, invention and technology.
50 Before we start today can I ask you one thing.
Did you eat your breakfast? That is good thing! If
you already did then you are now alert and
ready to learn and if you still not, well you are
free to do it while listening to our first lesson in
Science 6. And also make sure you are in
comfortable place far from noise so you can
hear me loud and clear. For your questions or
clarifications you can text me at ______.
12 SECS My dear Grade 6 students please remember that
you are here to learn so make the most out of it.
Stay focused and listen very well.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
10 SECS Now, make sure that you have with you your
pen, paper and learning activity sheets.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
5 SECS We are still on Science 6, Week 1.
20 SECS The learning objectives for today’s episode are
the following:
1. Identify the factors that affect the strength
Gravitational Force | 3
of gravity
2. Differentiate mass from weight
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
10 SECS Now Grade 6, settle down and make yourselves
comfortable as we are about to begin.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
20 SECS Before we start our lesson, let’s have a recap or
review.
In the previous lesson you have learned about
Protection and
Conservation of tropical rainforests, coral reefs
and mangrove swamps.
10 SECS Of course we need to find out if you are really
ready to move to our next lesson Let us have a
fun memory check.
5 SECS Are you up for a challenge? That’s good!
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
20 SECS If the statement is correct, write or comment
WOW HAVEY!
But if the statement is incorrect, write or
Gravitational Force | 4
comment OH NO WALEY. Did you get it?
20 SECS WOW HAVEY or OH NO WALEY!
1. Support project of the government in
protecting the wildlife ecosystem.
WOW HAVEY or OH NO WALEY?
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
10 SECS The correct answer is WOW HAVEY!. Now let
us have Number 2.
25 SECS 2. Join organization that conduct
educational campaign and give
information on how to protect and
conserve the wildlife conservation.
WOW HAVEY or OH NO WALEY?
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
15 SECS The correct answer for number 2 is WOW
HAVEY!
Did you get it? Good job! Here is the last item.
15 SECS 3. Immense or unlimited cutting down of
trees .
WOW HAVEY or OH NO WALEY?
Gravitational Force | 5
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
25 SECS The answer is OH NO WALEY. Because
when trees are cut down limitless forest
animals eventually lose their homes.
Protecting the forests is also a way of
protecting our wildlife.
Were you able to get all three? (PAUSE)
You are amazing!
5 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
20 SECS At this point in time let us move to the next part.
Are you ready to learn how gravity affects
movements of objects?
Now, please settle down because it’s time to
move to our new lesson.
45 SECS Gravity has been around since the start of the
universe and it works the same exact way
everywhere in the universe.
Did you know that without gravity we would float
away off of the earth? Yes! On Earth, what goes
up comes down. All objects are attracted toward
the center of the earth due to gravity. It’s the
Gravitational Force | 6
reason a ball comes back when you throw it into
the air, instead of floating off into the sky.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
20 SECS Gravity is the strange force that makes
everything fall down to earth. All objects have
gravity but some objects, like the earth and the
sun have much more gravity than other things.
50 SECS How much gravity an object really has is due to
how big it is and this is known as the object’s
mass. Gravity is a force that all objects exert but
you can really only feel it from big things. As a
proof, the moon pulls the water from the oceans
to make tides. And also the sun keeps all
planets in orbit with its gravity. The bigger the
object’s mass, the more gravity exerts. I repeat
the bigger the object’s mass, the more gravity
exerts.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
35 SECS Who do you think discovered gravity? Hmmm..
that’s really good question!
An English Scientist named Isaac Newton was
the first person to seriously study about gravity
over 300 years ago. It said that his ideas about
gravity were inspired by watching an apple fall
Gravitational Force | 7
from a tree.
30 SECS He saw an apple fall down and questioned,”
What makes the apple fall down instead of
floating away to the sky?”
He realized a special kind of force which we
now known as gravity was acting in all of the
objects on earth pulling them toward it.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
35 SECS In addition, Isaac Newton stated that the pull of
gravity depends not only on the mass of the
object but also on the distance between two
objects. The greater the mass, the shorter the
distance, the stronger the gravity. Again, the
greater the mass or shorter the distance, the
stronger the gravity.
35 SECS For example, the sun has a lot more gravity than
our planet earth, but we stay on earth’s surface
and don’t get pulled to the sun because we live
here, we’re much closer to the earth than the
sun and the earth’s mass makes a gravitational
pull on the mass in your body.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
Gravitational Force | 8
30 SECS Gravity, weight and mass are closely
interrelated. Did you know that weight is based
on gravity? That’s right! Weight is the
measurement of the force of the gravity on an
object. This means your weight is how hard
gravity is pulling you toward the earth’s surface.
20 SECS Many people use the bathroom scales or spring
scales to measure their weights. If the scale
indicates 70 lbs. then that is how much the earth
attracts your body.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
20 SECS For example the moon’s gravity is only one-sixth
of earth’s gravity so something in the moon will
weigh only one-sixth of what they weigh on
earth.
25 SECS So if you weigh 80 lbs or 36 kg on earth, you
would only weigh about 13 lbs or 6 kg on the
moon. We’ll learn more about that in a few more
minutes so stay tuned.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
35 SECS Many people oftentimes confused in using the
word weight when they mean mass. Mass is the
measure of how much matter there is in a body
or object. Mass is measured in kilograms. An
Gravitational Force | 9
object’s mass does not change. Your mass on
earth is the same as your mass on the moon or
on Mars.
30 SECS Why do you see pictures of astronauts bouncing
around weightless in space? Is this because
there is no gravity in space? No! There is gravity
in space. The astronauts appear to float
because of weightlessness inside the spaceship.
30 SECS The spacecraft and the astronauts are both
moving together under the influence of gravity.
As the earth’s gravity extends to millions of
kilometers in space, it become lesser and lesser
as it goes farther into the space.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
25 SECS Everything on Earth like buildings, homes, trees,
the people, ships or the boats in the sea, the
birds and even the fishes in the ocean stay on
Earth because of Earth’s gravity.
30 SECS Gravity is very important in our everyday lives.
But gravity also is important for much bigger
reasons too. Life on earth requires the sun’s light
and warmth to survive. Gravity helps the earth to
stay at exactly the right distance from the sun,
so it’s not too cold or too hot.
Gravitational Force | 10
25 SECS It is also because of gravity why our moon stays
on its place as it goes around our planet Earth.
Without the Earth’s gravity the moon would just
disappear in the space. Oh no! that would be a
big problem!
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
25 SECS So remember without earth’s gravity everything
here on earth will float off into the space. Thanks
gravity! We can walk, jump and run and enjoy
living in on our planet earth.
3 SECS BIZ: MSC UP AND UNDER
20 SECS There you have it Grade Six learners. It’s time to
check how well you understood the lesson.
