ah thanks, now it makes sense. It's difficult to articulate questions when you're a non scientist and not conversant in scientific language.

Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Re: How do I explain gravity to my children?

I teach in the UK. We have finished for the summer now. I am not a science teacher nor am I supposed to be teaching them science either!!! There is a cool bunch of guys that I like to chat with when they are not in lessons. I just like to throw a question out to them and then we get into a conversation about it. I'm not a scientist in any way or form but I am interested in physics and chatting things over with the guys is very rewarding. Their ideas and views are generally quite simple and always refreshing.  I always come away with a smile on my face.

Excellent replies and very useful. I work with post 16 students who have learning difficulties and the practical suggestions are very helpful.
