Although two identical objects may have the same mass and the same weight (meaning that the force of gravity is the same for both), they may not fall to Earth at the same rate. This is because of air resistance. Any object that is falling has friction, or resistance, from the air. The larger the object, the more resistance it has as it falls. Get two identical pieces of paper. Crumple one up into a ball, but leave the other one a flat sheet. Drop both pieces of paper off a high place at the same time. What happens? Which falls faster? Record your observations and make a conclusion, using the terms “mass,” “weight,” “force,” “resistance,” and “gravity.”

MUST BE AT LEAST 4 sentences and include the terms weight, force, resistance, and gravity.
