Tips for Parents

  • Here's how to talk to your child about it

    Gravitational pull is what makes everything in the universe pull on each other. It's why the moon makes the ocean move and causes high and low tides.

  • Some activities you can do with your child now

    After watching the video "I WONDER - How Does Gravitational Pull Work?", here are 4 activities you can do with your 4-year-old: 1. Take them outside and observe the tides at a nearby beach, explaining how the moon's gravitational pull affects the water movement. 2. Use a globe or a ball to demonstrate how objects pull on each other due to gravity, showing how the moon pulls on the earth. 3. Encourage them to draw a picture of the earth, moon, and sun, and explain how they are connected through gravitational pull. 4. Play a game of "orbit tag" where you pretend to be celestial bodies and chase each other, demonstrating how gravity affects their movements.

  • Pretend play with your child

    GAME: "Galactic Tides" Instructions: Role-play as astronauts exploring the universe. Use pillows or cushions as planets and hold hands to simulate gravitational pull. Move around in circles to represent orbiting and rotating. Act out high and low tides by raising and lowering your arms. Discuss how gravity affects the movements, just like in the video.

    "Gravitational pull makes everything in the universe pull on each other. It's what causes the ocean tides and makes the moon orbit the earth. Without gravity, things wouldn't move or stay in place."
