Lesson Objective: Students will explore the idea that weight changes but mass doesn't. Students will be comparing their weight and how far they can jump on earth compared to other planets and our moon.
Procedure:
1. Starter:
https://drive.google.com/a/methuen.k12.ma.us/file/d/0B4jTEtyaj7nZUEh5WHEweFl5UWs/view?usp=sharing
Students are asked to define three terms in their own words first then they are given the correct definitions.
2. Handout reviewing differences between weight and mass.

3. Gravity Activity: Hand out lab sheet and explain directions.
Supplies: Tailor tape measures for each group of two students
When students have finished collecting their data they will be asked to input their results into Isense Project Gravity and Weight. Students will use this data to complete the questions on the reverse of the lab sheet.
