I carried out an investigation about gravity and how does it affect the movement of falling objects.
We each had two objects to use to see which would fall on the floor/desk first.
Materials:
- Marble
- Ping Pong ball
- Sheet of paper
- Rubber
- Pencil
- Paper clip
- Feather
We dropped two of the items at the same height so the results could be much fair.
Here is a diagram of the results:
