The gravity well is an exciting piece of apparatus which allows students to visualise the attraction of massive objects due to gravity.

Consisting of a flexible sheet and collapsible frame, the gravity well is supplied with all you need to bring the study of gravity to life.

  • Coalescence of stars
  • Orbiting
  • Variation of orbital period with distance from star
  • Formation of orbital systems

Measuring 180cm diameter by 80cm high when assembled, the unit gives an impressive demonstration and packs away for easier storage.

  • Supplied with full instructions and suggested experiments.
  • Highly visual way of demonstrating the forces of gravity.
  • Includes suggested experiments.
  • Easy to pack away and store.
  • Key Stage 3 Physics - Motion and Forces: Non-contact forces: gravity forces acting at a distance on Earth and in space, forces between magnets, and forces due to static electricity. gravity force, weight = mass x gravitational field strength (g), on Earth g=10 N/kg, different on other planets and stars; gravity forces between Earth and Moon, and between Earth and sun (qualitative only).
  • Key Stage 4 Physics - Motion and Forces: Forces and fields: electrostatic, magnetic, gravity. Explain that weight is an effect of gravity which can vary with the gravitational field strength g (measured in N/kg) and recognise and predict phenomena that depend on weight and non inertial mass and distinguish between the two.
