About This Lesson
<p>This activity asks students to design an experiment to prove who’s idea about gravity is right. The handout or presentation can be used to do this. The handout also contains some questions about the science behind Galileo’s theory.</p>
This is a nice way to develop How Science Works skills through a really interesting scientific context! The activity asks learners to solve a very old dilemma and, although it gives some guidance, it doesn't lead pupils too much, so they can develop their own experiments independently! I really like the second sheet of the worksheet, because it fosters metacognition and challenged learners' misconceptions! Thanks for sharing.
