Look inside

Page 1Throw a ball, and it curves through the air. Gravity pulls it down, every single time. It lands back on the ground.

Page 2Throw the ball harder, and it flies farther first. It still curves down in the end. Gravity always wins eventually.

Page 3Long ago, a scientist named Isaac Newton had a big idea. He imagined a giant cannon on a tall mountain. What if it shot a ball super fast?
