Room 8's Gravity Experiment

Gravity Experiment

Yesterday we conducted a gravity experiment to see which items would hit the ground first.

This were the items we needed:

• Ping Pong Ball x1
  
• Pin x1
• Paper x1 (A4)
• Feather x1
• Marble x1
• Pencil x1
• Rubber x1

This was the table we made as part of our investigation. First we had to guess/estimate which we thought would hit the ground first. Afterwards we had to test which objects would hit the ground first, we had to look at the table to see what object we were going to drop and what was going to compete against it. Once we had dropped the objects at least three times we wrote down which hit the ground first in most occassions. We did this until we have dropped every object that was on the table

Object Dropped		Which hit the ground first?	Which actually hit the ground first?
Marble	Ping pong ball	Marble	marble
Rubber	Paper Clip	rubber	rubber
Marble	Pencil	marble	Same time
Flat Paper	Feather	feather	paper
Crumbled Paper	Feather	crumbled paper	crumbled paper
Feather	Paper Clip	paper clip	paper clip

This is what we would’ve looked like:
