Submissions from 4th graders in Decatur, Alabama on what they like and don't like about GRAVITY

Gravity is fun! Gravity is fun because it holds you on the ground. A planet's gravity determines your weight. You can go to the moon and weigh 13 pounds! If we didn't have gravity we would be floating in the sky.
Nicholas

I don't like gravity because when we fall, we fall really hard and it hurts. When we are on the moon we fall slowly. I like it in space because we can do all kinds of stuff. We can do back flips, front flips, and cartwheels. The moon can be dangerous too. We have to wear a space suit in space because there is no gravity. The moon can be fun and dangerous sometimes. I like gravity sometimes and sometimes I DON'T.
Seth

We need gravity so we can stay on the ground. Gravity is what keeps us on our feet. Gravity helps us eat. Gravity is cool.
Calhoun

Gravity is very special. Gravity is what keeps your feet on the ground. Nobody knows who made gravity. I don't even know who invented gravity. Gravity is what holds down your computers, desk, teachers, and houses, everything you can think of, and everything would be floating if it weren't for gravity. GRAVITY IS THE BEST!
Megan

I do like gravity because it keeps me on the ground. I would like to go to the moon. And I can pick up things that are really heavy. And I must watch out for meteors.
Brady

I like gravity because it keeps me on the ground. If we did not have gravity you and me would be in outer space. Gravity also helps kids and adults keep their furniture on the ground. That's why I like gravity.
Kyle

Gravity is what keeps us on our feet. Without gravity we would float in the air. Our schools and cars would float. And we love gravity because it keeps us on our feet and it keeps us from floating in the air.
Annakate

Gravity is fun. You get to jump and run.
You can jump in water, just like an otter.
Gravity is cool, just like school!
Carley

I like gravity because it keeps us on the ground. But it would be fun to float in the air sometimes. If there wasn't gravity, all of your food and drinks would be floating in the air and it would be hard to eat. That is why I love gravity.
Kasi

I love having gravity. If we didn't have gravity we would be floating everywhere. Gravity affects your weight. Did you know that gravity is a force? I love having gravity, do you?
Sara

What I like about gravity is when you try to do something your body will stay on the ground instead of floating around. What I don't like about gravity is I have always wanted to fly and if there wasn't any gravity I could.
Robert

I like gravity because it is like you can fly in the dark sky all day and all night. Like a butterfly in daylight, gravity makes you float in the sky and without gravity, the earth will not be able to float in the sky at night.
Dustin

Gravity is cool it is also fun. Gravity helps us stand on the ground. If we don't have gravity we'll be floating in the air. Gravity can help us with all kinds of things. Gravity has us on the ground instead of flouting in the air.
Nancy

Gravity is a force that keeps your feet touching the ground. I like gravity because if we didn't have it, we wouldn't be able to drive, or walk on the ground. Sometimes I don't like gravity because we would be able to fly.
Andrew

I like gravity because it helps us from going into space. Without gravity, we would go into space and we could not breathe. But I wish we could bounce a little high so we would never be bored. And we would never have to walk or jog ever again.
Penny

I love gravity simply because it holds you and me down. It would be a crazy world if we were floating everywhere. I'd probably be floating everywhere. And my room would be a bigger mess than it is right now. I can barely get in the thing. But sometimes I don't like gravity because sometimes I just want to fly.
P.S. I had a dream that I was a scientist.
April

I like gravity because it keeps our feet on the ground. Everything has a center of gravity. If you stand against a wall you can't bend over without bending your knees. That's because your center of gravity makes your knees bend.
Klynn

Gravity is the force that pulls all things down on earth to the ground. What I don't like about gravity is that you have to stay on the ground. What I do like is that you don't float in the air.
