Do heavy things really fall faster than light ones?
Autumn: a leaf or feather drifting down slowly while a conker/acorn (or a dropped key) drops straight and fast — race "the floaty thing vs the heavy thing" you can try at home, then imagine sucking the air away.
Talk about it
- Guess first: a key and a leaf dropped together — together or one first?
- Was it the weight or the shape that changed when we scrunched the paper?
- Where on Earth could you drop a feather and have it fall straight and fast?
