Gravity Activities for Kids

This collection of books about gravity introduces kids to the fascinating science behind how objects move and fall through fun and engaging stories.

A free-fall science activity explores gravity by dropping objects of different weights - such as a rock and sheet of paper - to help children observe how air resistance affects the speed at which they fall.

The "G is for Gravity Experiment" introduces young learners to the concept of gravity through a hands-on activity where they observe how different objects fall at the same rate, regardless of their weight.

Stone cairns building towers with natural materials invites children to balance and stack flat or mixed-shape stones to create cairns, promoting engineering play, fine motor skills, and creative exploration.

This gravity paint pour activity offers a hands-on way for children to observe how the downward force of gravity influences the movement of paint, creating vibrant, marbleized patterns on canvas.

Make-your-own marble run crafts use simple household items -- like cardboard boxes, tubes, craft sticks, and tape -- to build interactive tracks that promote creative engineering and hands-on STEM learning.

The Balancing Sidekick Gravity Experiment engages young children in a hands-on activity that demonstrates how adjusting the center of gravity affects an object's balance, making complex physics concepts accessible and fun.

The Apple Gravity Experiment engages preschoolers in exploring how different slopes and angles affect the speed and motion of apples, providing a hands-on introduction to basic physics concepts.

This hands-on superhero gravity experiment teaches kids about gravity by having them observe how superhero figures move along a string when one end is raised, demonstrating the force that pulls objects downward.

The Large Tube Gravity Experiment encourages children to explore how altering the height of a tube affects the speed at which objects travel through it, providing a hands-on demonstration of gravity's influence on motion.

The Drippy Gravity Painting activity invites children to explore gravity's effects by allowing paint to drip down a vertical surface, creating dynamic and colorful artwork.

The Gravity Defying Beads experiment shows how beads flow out of a container and arc upward before falling, illustrating momentum and inertia in a captivating way.

The "Build a Pipeline" activity allows children to construct a gravity-powered water system using simple materials like cups, straws, and tape, teaching them about engineering and fluid dynamics.

Engaging space-themed board books for toddlers designed to spark curiosity with tactile elements, simple explanations, and colorful illustrations.

A preschooler-friendly gravity experiment involves dropping objects of different sizes and weights - such as balls, feathers, or toys - from various heights to learn how gravity pulls everything toward the Earth at the same rate.
