Gravity pulls us to the ground,
Making sure we stay safe and sound.
We adapt to this force every day,
Walking, jumping, running, and play.

In ponds and lakes, we find algae,
Tiny plants that grow with glee.
Invertebrates swim and crawl,
Mobile creatures, both big and small.

The Earth rotates, day and night,
Giving us darkness and then light.
But no matter where we go or what we do,
Gravity keeps us grounded, me and you.

Reflections

1. What is gravity and how does it affect us every day?
2. What are some of the things that people do that demonstrate how we adapt to gravity?
3. What are some of the creatures that live in ponds and lakes, and how do they move around?
