Week 4 Science Practical

Investigation: Velocity and Gravitational Force

Name: _______________
Aim / Hypothesis:
Do falling objects of different weights all fall at the same speed?
Materials:
20 cent coin
Small magnet
Stress ball
Soccer ball

Tape measure
Stop watch
Chair
Results table to record results

Method:
1. Weigh each object and record weight (in grams) in results table.
2. Measure a height of 2.5 meters.
3. Drop one object at a time from this height and record the time it takes to hit the
ground.
4. Repeat for all objects.
