Gravity Exploration
In this engaging lesson, students complete 2 labs to investigate and analyze how the force of gravity impacts objects. The lesson is formatted for Argument Driven Inquiry design, which means it starts with a phenomenon and a driving question to guide investigations. Students experiment and reflect and share their findings both individually and with a group.
