Discussion prompts
- Predict before we test: flat paper vs scrunched paper from the same height — which lands first and why?
- Gravity pulls harder on the heavy ball, so why doesn't it win the race? Talk it out before the reveal.
- If we took all the air out of the room, what would change for the feather? Predict, then we watch the tube.
Where it shows up in real life
- A leaf or feather drifting down slowly while a dropped key falls straight and fast
- A parachute catching air to float a skydiver down gently
- Rain falling softly instead of stinging because the air slows the drops
