Relative weights on solar system worlds

There is a new demo that will be in the teaching demo/telescope room .  It consists of 5 white jars filled with various substances.  These jars can be used to demonstrate comparative surface gravities as they would be on:

Jupiter

Earth

Mars

The Moon

Ceres

They can also be used to help with density, as they all have the same volume but different masses.  Due to the size and hands-on nature it is probably best to use them in a small-medium sized classroom activity.

Supplies for maintenence of this demo will also be found with them.
