In everyday life, gravitation is most familiar as the cause due to which masses fall to the ground. Gravitation causes dispersed matter to coalesce, and coalesced matter to remain intact, thus accounting for the existence of the Earth, the Sun, and most of the macroscopic objects in the universe. Gravitation is responsible for keeping the Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun; for keeping the Moon in its orbit around the Earth; for the formation of tides; for natural convection, by which fluid flow occurs under the influence of a density gradient and gravity; for heating the interiors of forming stars and planets to very high temperatures; and for various other phenomena observed on Earth and the Universe. These are some of the questions we will explore here.

* '''Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)'''
#What do we mean when we say force?
#What does it do? (Produces an acceleration/ change in state - they can start with push and pull)
#For force to be there, do I have to touch? (Contact)
#When have you seen non-contact forces? (Electric shock, magnetism)
#Force can act at a distance; it is called field
