Explore the effects of gravity on objects of different sizes and shapes. Create a ball out of clay and roll it across the table. Observe how it rolls and comes to a stop. Make a tower out of blocks and watch it fall down. Notice how the blocks fall faster as they get closer to the ground. Suspend a ball from a string and swing it around. Notice how the ball moves in a circular path. Drop a marble into a glass of water and watch it sink. Notice how the water level rises as the marble sinks. These are just a few simple experiments that you can do to explore the effects of gravity. As you experiment, think about the following questions: What factors affect the rate at which an object falls? How does the shape of an object affect its motion through the air? How does gravity affect the movement of fluids? The more you experiment, the more you will learn about the fascinating effects of gravity.
