Using ideas in familiar contexts.
Deducing information from an
experiment.
Using knowledge and
understanding in a new situation.
Breaking information down,
contrasting information and
seeing patterns.
Generalising from given
information, linking ideas,
designing and making predictions.
Comparing and discriminating
between ideas, summarising
ideas. Making choices based on
reasoned argument. Verifying the
value of evidence.
Examples of questions on gravity
Who was the first person to use the idea of gravity to explain why objects fall? What is
weight? When was the idea of gravity first suggested?
Why does the moon stay in orbit around the earth? What did you find out when you dropped a
cricket ball and a tennis ball? How can you measure the pull of gravity on an object? Where
might you be if the pull of gravity was one sixth as strong as on earth?
When can you feel what it is like to be weightless without leaving earth? What would happen if
you dropped a hammer and a feather on the moon? Where (in the solar system) would your
weight be greatest?
How would your weight change if you travelled to Europa? What patterns can you see in the table
showing information about the mass, size and gravitational field strength of the planets? How is weight
different from mass?
How does the pull of gravity change as you go further from the centre of earth? Why will
opening their parachute slow down the fall of a sky-diver? Why would you feel weightless if
you were on the space station in orbit around earth? What might happen if you got near a
black hole?
Why might a model of space as a rubber sheet, with weights on it to show stars and planets, help to
explain gravity as being caused by a curvature of space? How might your body change if you lived in
zero gravity for a few months?
