We are dedicating this to Clinton, our nonexistent spider friend to made this book possible.
There once was a spider named Clinton, that lived as a scientist for the majority of his days. He found himself engulfed in a variety of tests and experiments that had to do with the stars and the planets.
The spider wanted to research more about these special devices in the Earth. So he began his first four experiments.
His curiosity led him to learn of the four forces of the earth from a new textbook in his room. These forces are gravity, buoyancy, friction, and centripetal force.
He began his studies with a marble, some string, and a strong thick stick he found in his garden. Clinton used four of his eight legs to steady himself against the ground while rubbing his feet on the grass to increase friction.
Centripetal Force
Centripetal force is a force that acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving. The centripetal force can be affected by the mass and distance, and when the force is removed from the moving body. Such as when Clinton removed the stick from the marble and the string. The stick was what was keeping that moving body from flying off into the distance, like our planets orbits.

CENTRIPETAL FORCE
AHHH!
Clinton was amazed to see that the marble connected to the stick would spin and spin around the stick in a circle. With further investigation, Clinton saw that this was an example of centripetal motion. When he let go of the stick, it flew to the other side of pasture he was in. HE was the centripetal force!
AHHH!
AHHHH!
Clinton went to the dunes behind his house in order to test his theory of gravity and friction down the sandy hills. He picked up a round black bowling ball on his way out. He was determined to conclude this experiment. He brought out two more smaller sized balls with less mass. Clinton saw that they rolled down the hill slower than the bowling ball.
Now gravity is the force by which a planet or other body draws objects towards its center. That is why we stay on earth, and not float off into space. When he tried to push it down the dune, he noticed that it rolled at a slower descent than inside of a bowling alley or off a roof. Clinton included this in his notes, taking it up and down the hill two more times for accuracy.
Friction
Gravity
Gravity is affected by the mass and distance between the object being drawn towards the other body, depending on how much mass it contains or how far away it is. A rocket ship stuck in orbit is stuck in a constant circle because of centripetal force, caused by another force; gravity. We float away from earth because earths gravity is too far to reach or affect us. The moon is not as large as the Earth is, and the gravity on the moon is not as powerful as the gravity on, let's say, Jupiter.
Gravity
FRICTION
He rolled the bowling ball, and the other two balls up a taller dune, to see that as the distance between the equipment and the ground floor increased, the faster the ball went. Clinton saw this made sense because he read in a book once, that the speed of anything that is falling increases as the time passes. This is the velocity of anything falling to the earth.
On Clintons way to conclude his third test, he remembered he had forgotten to buy groceries this week! So he headed over to his local Pangea Super Food market to get the chore over with and buy some supplies for a birthday party this weekend at his house!
Oh shoot! forgot my groceries! Gotta blast!
So he snacked on some of the free samples in the store until he basically finished up lunch for the day. With his tummy full, he left the store and snacked on a giant muffin during his walk to the water spout.
But just as he was on his way back to the water spout across the street in the human world, he spotted his friend Shiela, his crush since he was only a tiny little bugger. He said hi and they talked for a little while before she asked if he had any plans this weekend.
He said she could come to the birthday party this weekend if she brought the dip! She said she'd be delighted! His mind wandered to thinking about how the dip would affect his mass, weight, and how that would in turn affect his density. He thought he would increase, because his volume and mass would increase as well. He made a mental note to check in his books at home later to prove this.
Clinton made his way towards the water tower to reach the water spout. Except when he was just crawling up the tube, a human walked by with a little red hood over her eyes to get water home for dinner, and accidentally pumped Clinton into her small pale.
