Essential Questions What is force? What is Gravity?

Materials wood or plastic ruler marker or highlighter pennies or small weights

Procedure 1.Set the marker or pencil on a sturdy surface (like a table or desk) so that it is standing up tall. 2.Find the middle of the ruler. See how long the ruler is, then divide that number by 2 to find the center. If you are using a 12 inch ruler, the center would be at 6 inches. 3.Carefully set the ruler laying flat on top of the marker. Put the center of the ruler right on top of the marker's end. 4.Put a penny down on top of the tower in the center of the ruler. 5.Continue adding coins to the tower - hold a penny in each hand and slowly set a penny down at the same time on each end of the ruler. 6.Try putting a penny down on just one end of the ruler. What happens to the tower?

WHAT HAPPENS? Did the tower fall or continue standing?

Let’s Explain Gravity is the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. Force is a push or pull upon an object resulting from the object's interaction with another object.

Explaining results With equal weights on each side of the tower, gravity pulled down with equal force on each side, so it stayed balanced. When you placed a coin on just one side and not the other, gravity pulled on that coin (because gravity is a force that is always pulling) and the tower was not even any more. It was no longer balancing in the air and so it toppled over. The pull of that one coin caused the ruler to be pulled down, making the tower collapse. Even a small coin can create a big motion because of the powerful force of gravity pulling on it.
