Use this interactive graphic organiser to highlight common alternative conceptions about gravity and satellites. Students can place the labels where they think they belong. This activity can be done individually, in pairs or as a whole class.

This resource highlights some of the more common misunderstandings students may hold about gravity and space. Encourage students to discuss their reasoning for where they have placed the statements.

Place the labels where you think they belong. You can move the labels from one place to another, if you change your mind. Note: if the label has not changed to a blue background, check it is fully within a box. When you are ready, click the Check answers button to check your ideas, then click the Reset incorrect button to try again.

Use the Download exercise button for a PDF of the diagram and labels.
