Explore the Law of Gravity by demonstrating that gravity is a force that can be overcome.
When completing this project and in-class presentation, work on it with a partner. Students enjoy and contribute to group activities a lot more efficiently in order to achieve their common goal.
Was the Essential Question answered? "How can we show that gravity is a force that can be overcome?" Also, why does gravity pull certain objects faster to the ground? Does air resistance play a factor in keeping certain objects in the air longer?
As a result of this investigation, students will be able to create a powerpoint on the laws of gravity and how they constructed their experiment. A prediction, data chart of their results, and an explanation on how gravitational pull varied between the three objects must be present.
