Got Gravity?
by Arianna Johnson
In this lesson, students will need to obtain, evaluate and communicate the effects of gravity on objects. Students will watch an engagement video demonstrating how many objects fall to the ground. They will discuss and build more background knowledge by doing a whole group, teacher led observation gathering. Students will then conduct an experiment where they will be given multiple objects and will need to collect observational data from watching the objects fall from the same height. They will then use a poster paper to show their findings to the class. To elaborate on ideas, students will watch a video about objects falling on other planets and they will calculate their estimated weight on other planets. They will use this information to write a short paragraph explaining what they think would happen if they jumped on another planet and why.
