91-92 Gravity

To introduce the topic of gravity we watched - Bill Nye Gravity or Brain Pop Gravity

We went outside for a Bowling Ball/Golf Ball demo.  2 students stood on a picnic table and dropped a golf ball and a bowling ball at the same time to "prove" what we read.  We were careful to keep all the variables the same including time released, height, hold etc. 

In our notebooks we took Cornell Notes

As a wrap-up we did a Penny (inertia) activity. 
Make a stack of 5 or 6 pennies. Use another penny to try to knock the bottom penny out, while keeping the rest of the stack intact.
