Investigating Gravity

We carried out an experiment today to discover the effects of gravity on different objects.



We used different shapes, sizes and weights of objects to see if this made any difference.


Using two objects at a time, we dropped them from the same height at
the same time, and watched to see if they hit the floor together.


We found that all of the objects landed together (even when dropping a hockey ball and a marble) except for the feather. It caught the air which made it fall more slowly.


We had a very active, fun and noisy afternoon!

  3. I really liked dropping the feather with the other things because the feather would always drop last.
