What force caused clouds of gas and dust to form into stars and planets? DOUBLE UP! 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. http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/circles/u6l4d.cfm SC.8.E.5.4

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. Which student conducted an experiment and which student conducted an investigation? Explain your answer. SC.7.N.1.3,
