📝 Quick summary of key information

Why does the apple always fall to the ground?

The apple falls to the ground because there is a force called gravity that pulls things toward the center of the Earth. Imagine that the Earth is a big magnet that pulls everything on it down.

Gravity is like an invisible magnet that pulls things down to the ground. That's why when you drop an apple, it always falls down. It's also why you stay on the ground and don't float in the air.

Apples grow on trees because trees make them to reproduce. Trees grow flowers that turn into little apples after bees pollinate them.

Apples are food for many animals, like birds and squirrels. They help them grow and have energy. Animals eat the apples and spread the seeds, letting new trees grow.

The Magic Apple Fall

Why does the apple always fall to the ground?

Gravity in Action

After finding the Amazing(1) Book of Isaac Newton in the dusty attic, Noa and Nina end up in the peaceful garden of Sir Isaac Newton. Noa, a curious boy with messy brown hair and round glasses, and Nina, a dreamy girl with curly hair and a blue overalls, watch in awe as apples fall from the trees. Sir Isaac Newton, a wise man(2) with curly white hair and a long old(3) coat, warmly welcomes them. He holds an apple in his hand and smiles at them. He explains that this apple is much more than just a fruit.

Noa, curious, asks:
« Why does the apple always fall to the ground? »

Nina, curious, asks:
« Yes, why? »

Noa, curious, asks:
« What makes the apple fall? »

Nina, curious, asks:
« Maybe, but how? »

Soon after, Isaac Newton shows them an old magical drawing of a golden apple. He tells them that it could be the key to a big secret to discover. Isaac Newton, a man with curly gray hair, dressed in a long old coat, always has an apple in his hand.

Noa, curious, then asks how this force works.

The Secret of the Golden Apple

Isaac Newton then explains that this force is called gravity(4). It pulls all objects towards the ground.

Noa, curious, explains: « Gravity pulls everything that has mass(5). »

Nina, curious, asks:
« Do stars fall too? »

Noa, curious, asks:
« Why doesn't the apple go up? »

Isaac Newton shows them an old drawing of an apple. He tells them that it might be the key to a big secret to discover. He puts down the apple he had in his hand.

Noa and Nina, excited, follow Isaac Newton into his Experiment Room. There, they discover machines, mirrors, and shiny vials(6).

After exploring the Experiment Room, Noa and Nina are brought back to Newton's Garden. Isaac Newton shows them an old magical drawing of a golden apple, and tells them that it might be the key to a big secret to discover. To uncover this secret, Noa and Nina must return to the attic where it all began. By opening the golden book, they are taken on a new adventure where science and magic mix once again. But be careful, this time, they might meet a sneaky black cat that will guide them to even more fascinating mysteries. After successfully capturing the golden apple with a combination of their ideas, Noa and Nina finally understand the secret of gravity. Isaac Newton explains that the golden apple symbolizes curiosity(7) and discovery. He gives them a small notebook filled with drawings and experiments to try. Before leaving, they promise to keep exploring the mysteries of science. They return to the attic, their hearts filled with new knowledge and adventures to come.
