1. planet hopper Free powerpoints at http://www.worldofteaching.com
Students need to be supplied with the mass of the astronaut and then they must work out the weight of the astronaut on different planets
Will need formula – weight = mass x gravity
Real physicists will have a problem as some of the planets you couldn’t strictly land on as they are gas….
I’m only an amateur being a biologist…!!

2. First stop Mercury …(eek, really hot here so won’t stick around too long) where gravity is 3N/kg….

3. onto Venus, the planet of luuurrrve where gravity is 9N/kg (bit like Earth)….

4. At home on Earth, where it’s 10N/kg…. By the way St
At home on Earth, where it’s 10N/kg…. By the way St. Peter’s is about here…

5. Mars, where there might be other life?? gravity is 4N/kg….

6. Jupiter is the biggest planet, with a whopping gravity of 23N/kg….

7. Saturn, with the one with the rings has a gravity of 9N/kg….

8. Uranus, people think it’s a rude planet but it’s only biology…
Uranus, people think it’s a rude planet but it’s only biology…. gravity of 8N/kg….
