We discussed the concept of gravity. We let a few things drop to the floor to show how gravity works on Earth. We viewed a Magic School Bus video that showed how the force of gravity works on a "planet". If the planet is larger in size, it will have a greater gravitational pull. If the planet is smaller in size, it will have less of a gravitational pull. Lastly, Libby drew a picture to represent a planet with and without gravitational pulls.

This morning, our social studies lesson focused on rules and laws. We began with a video on why rules are important and what would happen if there were no rules. Then, we watched a second video on the similarities and differences between rules and laws, who creates each, and the consequences or punishments if they are broken. Then, Libby determined whether given statements were rules or laws, and she categorized the laws into groups based on whether they were made for safety, order, or equality.
