Define mass:
Define gravity:
Page 2 describes the steps that should be taken to perform an experiment to see how gravity acts on objects of different mass. The following questions all deal with this experiment:
What should be different about the objects/balls?
What should be the same about the objects?
How should you drop the objects?
What should you measure while dropping the objects?
How many times should you complete this experiment?
If the objects of different masses all take the same amount of time to hit the ground, what does that tell us about gravity?
If the objects of different masses hit the ground at different times, what does that tell us about gravity?

**Define mass:** Mass is the quantity of matter in an object, typically measured in kilograms or grams.
**Define gravity:** Gravity is the force of attraction between two masses, which pulls objects towards each other, particularly towards the center of a planet or celestial body.
**What should be different about the objects/balls?** The objects/balls should differ in mass.
**What should be the same about the objects?** The objects should be the same shape and size to minimize variations in air resistance.
**How should you drop the objects?** The objects should be dropped from the same height and at the same time to ensure a fair test.
**What should you measure while dropping the objects?** You should measure the time it takes for each object to reach the ground after being dropped.
**How many times should you complete this experiment?** You should complete the experiment multiple times (at least three times) to ensure accuracy and reliability of the results.
**If the objects of different masses all take the same amount of time to hit the ground, what does that tell us about gravity?** It indicates that gravity accelerates all objects equally regardless of their mass.
**If the objects of different masses hit the ground at different times, what does that tell us about gravity?** It suggests that other forces, such as air resistance, may be influencing the objects' descent, rather than gravity alone.
