Falling Objects Lab
This lesson is designed to have students investigate how objects, of different masses, will be affected when dropped to Earth. The lesson begins with a phenomena video - this video connects the idea of gravity back to Earth processes learned earlier in the school your when learning about the cycling of matter and flow of energy in the geosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. Students will then create and test their hypothesis about how objects of different masses will fall when dropped from the same height. This is student centered, with teacher support mainly occurring when making mathematical connections to Newton's Second Law.

In this lesson plan, students will make use of their knowledge about gravitational force and factors affecting it to design a stuffed mini parachute that will land the slowest from a given height
Investigative Phenomenon: When subjected to identical forces, a golf ball and a table tennis ball exhibit distinct movement. In this lesson, students discover: 1. Equivalent force may result in varied
In this lesson, students will test Earth's gravity and how gravity affects objects of different masses. Students will see that mass does not have an effect but instead air resistance is what causes
