Jasmine and Emily were learning about forces in class. They learned that a
force was either a push or a pull. Emily wondered if gravity was a force. She
knew that when she dropped her book it was pulled down to the ground.
Jasmine knew that the moon had less gravity than the earth, but she wasn't
sure why.
