How can you stop an object from falling toward Earth? Explore How can you stop an object from falling toward Earth? Your challenge: Use the object your teacher gives you and try to find a way to keep it from falling toward Earth. SCIE_5_A_Les31Gravity_MAT 2014 CFISD

SCIE_5_A_Les31Gravity_MAT 2014 CFISD Elaborate A student is investigating whether gravity has a stronger effect on heavy or light objects. He dropped a bowling ball and a kickball that were the same size from three feet above the ground. The bowling ball hit the ground first. The student concluded that gravity has a stronger pull on heavier objects. Is this a valid conclusion? Explain your thinking. SCIE_5_A_Les31Gravity_MAT 2014 CFISD

Investigating Gravity Elaborate Investigating Gravity Directions: Investigate the effects of gravity on objects by comparing how gravity affects them. Choose a variable that you would like to test; size (ex.- small paper, larger paper), weight (ex.- thin paper, thick paper), shape (ex.- flat paper, balled up paper). Be sure to consider safety. Design your experiment and record your results in your science notebooks. Be sure that your conclusion is reliable. SCIE_5_A_Les31Gravity_MAT 2014 CFISD

Your investigation should include the following: Elaborate Your investigation should include the following:   What is your Problem or Question? What Procedures are you going to follow? What Safety procedures are you following? Record your Data. What is your Conclusion? What did you learn about gravity? How do you know that your Data is Reliable? SCIE_5_A_Les31Gravity_MAT 2014 CFISD
