Gravity - Why don't we float in space when we jump?

We were learning to structure paragraphs and explain.
I enjoyed writing and learning about gravity cause I didn't know much about it at first.
I found it tricky to stick to one topic in one paragraph.
My digital learning object shows I am getting better at structuring paragraphs.

Gravity - why don’t we fly in space when we jump?
There’s a little something called gravity. Gravity feels like invisible super glue pulling us down from floating into space.

Force, Force isn’t EXACTLY like gravity but almost is, The force is basically a push or a pull causing an object to change its direction.

If you chuck a ball to the left, right, over your head or even behind you, it's going down for sure. It's as if gravity always wants things to stay the same and always go down, NEVER up…

For an example you can use a flexible type of ciol named Boinks.


Boinks.
A boink is a flexible coil/spring action. In order for it to fly up, you have to squeeze it down and let it go. That makes it more like the force because when you push it down the pressure makes it fly up because of the gravity of it being pushed down.


Dropper Popper.
Invert and drop the dome down with a ping pong ball, it’ll fly up and gravity will pull it towards the ground. Gravity is the cause of unsupported objects coming down.


Conclusion. 
No matter what direction you throw the object, it's going down for sure.

      I think I could've added a question as well.
      Has your class learned or talked about gravity or force?
