Lesson 1.3 A Study in Gravity

Description

In this lesson, students learn what it means to scientifically test variables in an interaction, then use their gravity simulation to examine which variables affect the force of gravity.

Objective

Students will be able to:

  • Scientifically test variables in an interaction.
  • Use their simulation to test variables and print data.
  • Use observational and empirical evidence to make conclusions.
  • Explain which variables affect the force gravity.
  • Summarize their process and results in a written conclusion.
