What is Gravity?
3:22
Why aren't we floating right now? Gravity, of course! But it's not that simple...
1096
Gravitational Force
1:51
Gravity works in strange ways, and Janet begins to get to the bottom of it all.
1052
What If There Were No Gravity
1:59
It's a fair question, right? Would we be walking on ceilings? Or would our entire universe change?
1079
Henry Cavendish
2:13
Henry Cavendish was the first scientist to test gravity in the laboratory. Thanks to the "Cavendish Experiment," we know how much Earth weighs!
1074
Weight and Mass
2:38
Two of the key elements of physics, an object's weight and mass determine how it's affected by gravity. Now THAT'S heavy!
1078
Sir Isaac Newton
3:16
The apple never falls far from the tree...and that's how Isaac Newton discovered gravity!

What Happens in Microgravity
1:30
How does gravity behave when we get down to the real nitty gritty? More science for kids coming up!

Galileo
3:09
Wait, the Earth revolves around the SUN? Yes, but before Galileo, no one believed that!

What Is Microgravity?
5:15
So we know about GRAVITY, but what exactly is MICROGRAVITY? Kids make their best guesses, but the answer might be in outer space!

Microgravity and Astronauts
2:31
What effect does microgravity have on astronauts orbiting earth? Let's take a look inside some amazing scientific research!
