How Much Would I Weigh on the Moon?
The terms "mass" and "weight" are often interchangeable in our everyday lives, but to scientists they mean different things.
Mass is a measure of how much matter it contains
Weight is a measure of the pull of GRAVITY between you and the planet you are standing on.
In science class today (page 426) we explored this concept.
Check out this site:
http://www.exploratorium.edu/ronh/weight/
*we weigh less on the moon, because the pull of gravity on the moon is 1/6 of Earth's gravity*

Tonight all you need to do is write the name and address of ONE person you know living out of our area (examples: Chicago, St. Louis, California, Florida, and so on) on ONE stamped envelope.
Please use the school's address as the return address....
Gardner Elementary

Waterloo, IL 62298
As soon as your child returns the envelope to me, I will mail it off! :)
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask!
