This is our final week discussing Gravity. What stood out to you as you read the final sections, The Origin and The Sea?

Something that stood out to me was the use of questions. It reinforced the notion that questions are an essential element of science and thus science education. On page 333 Emma asks, "Why would a mammalian hormone like HCG suppress the reproduction of an alien life-form? Why would an extraterrestrial organism, so foreign to anything on earth possess properly fitting locks to our keys?" I notice that these questions are not yes/no questions or questions that require memorized facts. They are open ended and meaningful to Emma, the person asking the questions. They will require more research and will ultimately lead to more questions. They will lead to clarification of the world around her.

What were your thoughts on Gravity and did you enjoy the read?
