Can we construct an explanation from evidence to illustrate that the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on objects is directed downward towards the center of Earth?

What variables affect gravity?

What is the invisible force that pulls all objects? Which way does it pull?

Can we model Earth's gravitational pull?

Do objects on Earth fall at the same speed (rate)?

Read the story of Paulo's Parachute Mission.  You can use the link below to project the images from the text.

Discuss the field of aerospace engineering and introduce concepts of atmosphere, drag, and gravity.

Review how parachutes work and relate standard 5.6 to the story.
The teacher edition and student sheets do not explicitly teach this standard so you will need to find ways to integrate this in the AMSTI lesson (if you need additional activities look on this padlet under planning documents- instructional tasks to supplement your curriculum).

Trace the use of the Engineering Design Process in the story.

In this lesson, students discover that gravity exists on all planets and moons, but the amount of gravity is different because it depends on how massive the object is.

This document serves to share the instructional tasks that are embedded throughout this padlet correlating with standard 5.6.  Some teachers do not use the day by day plans and/or use AMSTI kits as their primary resource.  If you want/need to fill in gaps with your instruction this is an at a glance look at hands-on activities your students can utilize relating to standard 5.6.

# data[].attributes.body
Give Gravity Assessment. Your assessment should directly correlate with standard 5.6 and should align with the activities/learning that took place in class.  Below you will find suggested questions taken from a variety of resources including Stemscopes, Mystery Science, Picture Perfect Science Lessons, and Wonder Science.  Feel free to use any of these questions to create your own assessment.  DO NOT PRINT AND GIVE BANK AS ASSESSMENT.

More Picture Perfect Lesson 14: Roller Coasters Elaborate.  Students will test different objects falling to the ground.  They will see which object hits the ground first. (If you have slow mo cameras, now would be the time for the students to use them).

After, students will notice all objects hit the ground at the same time unless there is air resistance.
