Alice's fall and her sizes: falling, the centre of the Earth, giants and tiny people, sentence 5

No drink or cake can do that, but asking «what would really happen if I were tiny, or a giant?» is real science: size changes how hot or cold you get, how heavy you are and how strong your legs need to be.

Who acts: drink, size, you, strong legs · What happens: do, ask, happen, be, change, get · To what, where: that, real science · Speech: someone speaks here

This is a sentence of the lesson «Alice's fall and her sizes: falling, the centre of the Earth, giants and tiny people» of the physics course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (drink, size, you, strong legs), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
