Find out more

Now that you know a bit about gravity, why not find out more? You might ask questions such as:

• What are the next big plans for space travel?
  
  
• What else did Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientists of all time, discover?

• Find out more about Stephen Hawking , who is still working on Gravity and Black Holes!
  

Your local library is an excellent source for all the information you may need: it may have some information on gravity you can look at.

Ask Your Librarian or Teacher

Ask your librarian or teacher if they can help you find out about gravity.

Can you find out what investigations are going on in Ireland in relation to gravity, planets and space, for instance at Armagh Planetarium, Birr Castle in Co. Offaly and at Dunsink Observatory in Dublin.
