About This Activity

Zoe leaped across the stage, defying the invisible pull beneath her.

Have students act out each word — students can leap and freeze to feel gravity during ACCELERATION, hold a yoga pose to explore BALANCE, and push a partner's shoulder lightly to demonstrate FORCE, making abstract gravity concepts concrete through movement.
