SC.8.E.5.4
• What force caused clouds of gas and dust to from
into stars and planets? GRAVITY
• DOUBLE UP True/False: Astronauts in space are
“weightless”, so there’s NO gravity in space.
• FALSE!!! Although it weakens as distance
increases, gravity exists between ALL objects. • More mass/shorter distance=greater gravity.
• Less mass/longer distance=weaker gravity.
• Astronauts feel “weightless” because they’re in free-fall.

Experiment vs Investigation
• Melanie and Brody want to find out whether wooden bats or
metal bats allow baseballs to travel farther.
• Melanie asks five different people to hit ten balls with each
type of bat and she measures the distance each ball travels.
• Brody researches the physical properties of the pine wood
and the aluminum metal and then estimates the possible
distance a ball could travel with a given force.
SC.7.N.1.3,
SC.6.N.1.3
Which student conducted an experiment
and which student conducted an
investigation? Explain your answer.
