Playing with Gravity

In science, we experimented with gravity and different object in the classroom. Students worked together to see which object fell fastest. Our testing objects were a balloon, a feather, a cotton ball, a penny, and a foam ball. Students dropped each object with another and watched for their result. 

 Some objects fell at what looked like the same speed. We had to break out the camera to record the drops in slow motion.

In the end, students discussed the difference in object shape and weigh. We came up with more questions and hope to perform another experiment soon!
