A cop suspects a thief of jumping a fence and stealing the money. The suspect claims that it is physically impossible for him to jump the fence. Dr. Solomon uses Coulomb's Law to "prove" him wrong.
Galileo explains to his student that, if two balls are dropped at the same height, they will both hit the ground at the same time, regardless of their weight.
Mr. Seaver begins teaching the class a lesson on gravity out of the textbook. He is especially confused by the book's claim that a coin and a feather will fall at exactly the same speed. After Luke challenges him to prove it, he tests the claim.
The students and Ms. Frizzle travel to Mercury, the first planet in our solar system, and learn that they weigh less because there is less gravity on the planet. They enjoy bouncing around with less gravity, and a few students take part in a contest to see who can jump higher.
