outer space

Luke said to Izak that it would be really easy to move things in outer space because there is no gravity. Madisyn and Emily overheard them talking and said that they were wrong. It would take force to move objects in space. Who is correct and why?

Falling Fast

Joe says to Tyler the heavier an object is the faster it falls. Tyler tells Joe that he is wrong. Tyler says the longer an object is falling the faster it falls. Will says that there are more factors involved when objects fall. Who did you think is correct and explain why ?

Kaleb and Thomas are playing pass in the hallway. Kaleb said it was a good example of momentum. Thomas said it was a better example of speed. Brayden said it was and example of both because speed is related to momentum. Who do you think was right and why? Is speed related to momentum? 

Friction

What are  three types of friction?

unseen forces

You roll a model car down the hallway. The car comes to a stop without hitting anything. Allie says the car came to a stop because there was no force pushing on it. Dylan says it stopped because of unseen forces. Who do you agree with and explain why?
