Development of Target EF-D3.2
EF-D3.2	Describe the relationship between the Earth’s gravity and the weight of an object Gravity is a force which pulls you (and everything else) downwards. The weight of an object is a measure of the gravitational force exerted on it. Gravity is a force which pulls objects towards the centre of the earth from anywhere on its surface.

1	Find out what happens when a ping-pong ball and a golf ball are released from a height of two metres.
2	Establish the link between weight and gravity by using a forcemeter to weigh everyday objects.
