Find two or three people - who you have not yet worked with - and compare your answers to the question from assignment four:
How can the amount of gravity one object has over another be changed?
As a group, discuss the questions in this Google Form and answer them together. ONE FORM PER GROUP
6. Simulating Gravity in Real-Life
6. Simulating Gravity in Real-Life
Using balls of different size & mass and a spandex table cloth, you will be simulating gravity in real-life to prove how the amount of gravity one object has over another can be changed.

7. Gravity Word Wall
7. Gravity Word Wall
We're building a word wall together. In the same group from steps #5 & #6, review your explanations/voiceovers from ALL the assignments in the Gravity Playlist. Now, AS A GROUP, fill out ONE of these Google Forms.
8. Recording Your Evidence & Supporting It With Reasoning
8. Recording Your Evidence & Supporting It With Reasoning
After using the three different simulations (from #3, 4, & 6), you have now created videos showing a lot of evidence proving that certain factors (variables) can control the amount of gravity that one object has over another.
Now you will record that evidence and back it up with research to prove that your observations are important.
Doing this will show that your simulation videos are actually supported by well-established data & scientific theories.

Supporting your evidence with reasoning
Supporting your evidence with reasoning
Use the presentation above as a resource to gather the research you need to support your observations & evidence from your simulation videos. If you would like to use your own resource, you are welcome to - make sure it's credible though: .gov OR .edu
Use this for the LAST SECTION of each graphic organizer
(organizer can be found in the assignment in Google Classroom - look left to find your block) .
