Discover why gravity pulls all objects toward Earth and investigate what happens when air resistance is removed from the equation. Through engaging demonstrations, this STEM Short challenges students to make observations, analyze evidence, and explain why objects in free fall accelerate at the same rate regardless of their mass.
