Exploring Gravity in 7T

This term 7T, amongst many other topics explored gravity. Gravity from the Latin word meaning "heavy" is a very complex and misunderstood natural phenomenon. That did not stop the intelligent members of 7T from conducting an insightful experiment which looked at how gravity works and how friction can oppose it. There was initially a little friction from the boys regarding the experiment but once they registered the gravity of the situation they worked very diligently.

Using a variety of everyday materials, which most discoveries in science have relied upon, the boys can now articulate the basic principles of gravity and friction. Apart from the science of gravity the boys also learnt:

1. "A gem cannot be polished without friction nor a man perfected without trials." Seneca; and
2. "You can't blame gravity for falling in love." Albert Einstein.
