Discussion
Even the props behaved differently when everything was weightless.
- How would pouring water or throwing a ball be different with no felt gravity?
- Why did the filmmakers have to plan carefully for floating objects?
- What object would you most want to test in weightlessness?
Quick work-a-long
Vocabulary: gravity, weightless, prop, predict.
Try it: Pick three classroom objects. For each, predict how it would move if it were floating, then explain your reasoning.
