Description

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:

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.
