Prepare the Canvas

Take your A-3 size corrugated sheet and cut it in half to create a sturdy vertical base.

Paint the drawing

Use a pencil to sketch a scene of Sir Isaac Newton sitting under a large, leafy apple tree.

Craft the Gravity Apple

Using YUDU Poster Colours, paint your drawing. Switch to a fine brush to add fine details like the grass, facial features, and the texture of the tree bark.

Create the Slide Mechanism

Paint and cut a red apple from white paper, then attach it to a toothpick to create a moving piece. Stick a 5-rupee coin behind it and slide it along the string using Fevicol MR.

Demonstrate the Law

Your Gravity Board is complete! Slide the apple to the top of the tree and let it fall toward Newton. This simple motion perfectly demonstrates Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation for young learners.
