Learning About Gravity

The students learned more about gravity today. Our first activity was exploring if heavier objects fall faster. Many students wanted to believe that the heavier book would hit the floor faster than the smaller book. After many trials, the students noticed that both books hit the floor at the same time. Our second activity was how high a ball will bounce. We taped a meter stick to the door. We dropped the ball from 50 cm and recorded how high it bounced. Then we dropped the ball from 100 cm and recorded how high it bounced. The students noticed that the greater the height the ball was dropped from, the higher it bounced.
