Gravity

This month in Science we are studying forces and states of matter. Did you know that gravity pulls everything to the center of the Earth? We are learning about this principle and many others. We performed a lab that seemed to defy the law of gravity using a ball and rice. We are also learning about inertia, a state of matter that says if an object is at rest it will remain at rest unless an outside force acts upon it. We were able to see this law when the class performed a lab where their coins seemed to pause in the air before gravity pulled them down.
