    Galileo hypothesized that objects of different mass would fall at the same rate in a vacuum. The student recorded the results of dropping objects in air (which had varying rates) and in a vacuum (which had consistent rates). This supported Galileo's hypothesis that gravity alone causes objects to fall at the same rate without other forces like air resistance acting upon them. The forces acting on objects in air were gravity and air resistance, while only gravity acted upon objects in a vacuum.

    04 Lab Worksheet

    Directions: Use the interactive lab on the last page of lesson 01.04 to complete this worksheet.

    What is the difference between objects calling in air and a vacuum?


    Galileo’s Experiment on Falling Objects in World’s Largest Vacuum VIDEO

    Part One: The Lab


    1. You will be helping Galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass fall at
    the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. Before you conduct your experiment, you
    need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will happen in the
    experiment. The hypothesis is a statement that describes “if” a certain set of circumstances are
    present “then” there will be a specific result that will occur.
    *Address the different rates in the air vs. the vacuum.
    Record your hypothesis here:

    2. Record the results from step one of the experiment (dropping the objects in the air):

    First trial:

    Second trial:

    Third trial:

    3. Record the results from step two of the experiment (dropping the objects in a vacuum):

    First trial:

    Second trial:

    Third trial:

    4. Did the experiment support your hypothesis? Using the data from your experiment, describe why
    you believe your hypothesis was either proven or disproven.

    5. A . What forces were acting on the objects dropped in the air?


    b. What force was acting on the objects dropped in the vacuum?
    Part Two: Comparing Forces
    ** You will be comparing electromagnetism, strong nuclear, weak nuclear and gravitational forces.

    1. Choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. You must provide two ways that they
    are alike and two ways that they are different. You may make a list, write in paragraph form, or
    make a chart.

    2. Choose two forces and compare and contrast these forces. These must be different forces than
    used in the prior question. Provide two ways that they are similar and two ways that they are
    different. You may make a list, write it out, or make a chart.
