1. Journey Through Mass and Weight Weight Pounds/ Newtons grams/ kilograms Triple Beam Balance Mass Scale

2. Mt. Everest Where is your source of gravity? The Center Of Earth Are you closer or farther from the center of gravity than in Medfield? Medfield Mt Everest Farther Is the pull of gravity STRONGER or weaker than in Medfield? weaker What happens to my weight? WHY? DECREASES, due to the larger distance from the source of gravity What happens to my mass? WHY? NOTHING! Stays the Same! Has my inertia changed? WHY? NO! Your mass hasn’t changed!

3. Mariana Trench Where is your source of gravity? The Center Of Earth Are you closer or farther from the center of gravity than in Medfield? Medfield Mariana Trench Closer Is the pull of gravity STRONGER or weaker than in Medfield? STRONGER What happens to my weight? WHY? INCREASES, to smaller distance from source of gravity What happens to my mass? WHY? NOTHING! Stays the Same! Has my inertia changed? WHY? NO! Your mass hasn’t changed!

4. Moon Where is your source of gravity? The Center Of the Moon What has more mass – Earth or the Moon? Earth! What is the relationship between MASS and Gravitational Pull? More Mass = More Gravitation al Pull What happens to my weight? WHY? DECREASES, due to weaker source of gravity What happens to my mass? WHY? NOTHING! Stays the Same! Which place has a STRONGER gravitational pull? WHY? Earth!

5. Jupiter Where is your source of gravity? The Center Of Jupiter What has more mass – Earth or Jupiter? Jupiter! What is the relationship between MASS and Gravitational Pull? More Mass = More Gravitation al Pull What happens to my weight? WHY? INCREASES, to stronger source of gravity What happens to my mass? WHY? NOTHING! Stays the Same! Which place has a STRONGER gravitational pull? WHY? Jupiter!

6. Pluto Where is your source of gravity? The Center Of Pluto What has more mass – Earth or Pluto? Earth! What is the relationship between MASS and Gravitational Pull? More Mass = More Gravitation al Pull What happens to my weight? WHY? DECREASES, due to weaker source of gravity What happens to my mass? WHY? NOTHING! Stays the Same! Which place has a STRONGER gravitational pull? WHY? Earth!

7. Between mass and weight which remains constant (if no matter is added or taken)? MASS, because the amount of matter does not change according to location. What are the two factors that influence an objects weight? Mass of item & strength of gravitational pull
