Question

Two students were discussing an article about a possible mission to Jupiter. Several ideas

about gravity came up during their discussion and they are listed below.
1.
II.
111.
The Sun's gravity is pulling on Jupiter and keeps the planet in orbit
You would have the same weight on Jupiter as you do on Earth since
weight is a property of the object.
A rocket traveling to Jupiter would just need to travel beyond Earth's
atmosphere before the gravitational force would be zero.
The gravitational force of Jupiter keeps its moons orbiting.
IV.
Which of the statements above are true? Circle all that are correct.

Answer 1

The Pull of the Planets is a 30-minute activity in which teams of children model the gravitational fields of planets on a flexible surface. Children place and move balls of different sizes and densities on a plastic sheet to develop a mental picture of how the mass of an object influences how much effect it has on the surrounding space.

This activity should be conducted after Heavyweight Champion: Jupiter!, which allows the children to discover the force of gravity in the solar system. These concepts involve more advanced science than previous activities in Jupiter's Family Secrets, and they explore more deeply the science of the Juno mission and the rich information it will return to us. Facilitators who choose to undertake this activity should have a firm grasp of the scientific basis so that misconceptions are not introduced to the children.
