Students discover the effects upon gravity caused by mass and distance of the gravitational force between two objects. Using toy cars and a ramp, they add more weight to their cars and measure the distance they travel from the top of the ramp to the stopping point. Once they have experimented numerous times, students compile their information into a bar graph. Full Review »
