How to turn it in

One at a time, drop 5-10 objects from desk-height. Record your observations about each object. Think about:

Record your gravity drop and a video explaining your observations. Show Ms. Hamby your video next week..

Write a paper report about the objects you dropped. Include details about what you observed.

• Which force(s) are acting on the object?
• What is the direction of the force?
• How does the object's physical properties (size, shape, material, etc.) effect it's drop?
