__**Introduction:**__ How many children are fascinated with the fact that when they jump on a trampoline that instead of taking off like a rocket ship high up into the sky, they come crashing back down only to bounce back up again? Science is a wonderful subject and one that has so many topics that can be discovered. Gravity is such a diverse topic and when researched can be made into such a fun lesson when done the right way.

__**Overview:**__ We have created an authentic learning task for students to work on over a 6 week period and then they will have the opportunity to report their findings. In the links above, information is provided to assist both teachers and students with this task. We have added a list of resources for both teachers and students to give extra help and assistance (refer to resources page using the above link) within the first couple of weeks of learning when they are discovering what gravity is and where they can find it. Below we have also provided an audio presentation for your convenience.
