What makes this place so special?
Yeah.
And how are we going to jump as high as one of these trees?
You'll see in a second, but first, I have to put these on!
What are those big heavy boots for?
Someone needs... to... keep their... feet on the ground.
(Grunting) Especially when there's less gravity.
(Panting) What's that machine, Cat?
And what happens if you turn that dial?
There's only one way to find out.
Give it a try!
(Whooshing) Hey!
I feel different all of the sudden.
I feel funny, too!
Uh...who moved the ground?
We're floating!
Look, I'm a flying fish!
What did you do with that machine, Cat?
It's a Gravitometer!
It can change the amount of gravity that's pulling us down.
Isn't it fun?!
(Powering down) Oh, yeah, tons of fun.
Hey, Cat?
Why didn't you float like us?
These heavy boots give gravity more to pull on, and keep me on the ground.
So, how does this thing work?
Gravity is why things fall down instead of up.
Whoa!
CAT: See?
So even if you hold something way up from the ground, gravity pulls it back down?
Yes, it also holds us down so we don't float away!
That's why I couldn't jump up to get my plane!
Gravity was pulling me down.
But with the Gravitometer, you can feel what it's like to have more or less gravity.
Cool!
Can we play some more?
Abso-toot-ly do.
(Grunting) Less gravity coming right up!
Now, jump!
(Giggling) Look, Sally!
With the less gravity holding me down, I'm jumping as high as a tree!
Less gravity's pretty cool.
It is kind of fun to float outside my bowl for a change.
