Modeling Your Thinking
Have students throw an object such as a ball into the air. Allow them to observe it falling back to the ground. After a few demonstrations, have the students draw a diagram of what is happening to the ball; be sure that they label forces, such as gravity, that are acting on the ball. For even more in depth thinking, have students speak about how gravity affects us on Earth.
