1) The document discusses an experiment where an astronaut dropped a feather and hammer on the moon and they fell at the same rate due to the lack of air resistance.
2) It also describes an activity where students will make parachutes out of plastic bags and string to try to save eggs from breaking during a fall from the second story of a house.
3) The students are asked to observe how fast the eggs fall and whether they break using different sized parachutes and relate their observations to concepts of force, mass, and acceleration.

place. Sometimes you fall for the wrong persons. Well actually at first, we do not know it’s the wrong person until we feel pain, until we cheated on. The teacher will let the students watch the video on the experiment on the falling hammer and feather on the moon. Hammer and Feather dropped on the Moon.mp4 Guide Questions: What happened when the astronaut let go of the feather and hammer? What do you think is the reason why did the hammer and feather fell together? Activity 1-“Please be careful with my egg” Problem: Can a parachute made out of plastic bags and string save an egg from a two-story fall? Objective/s: To know the concept of free fall by performing the activity To identify the factors affecting the free fall of the object Materials: manila paper, thread, scissor, Plastic heavy- duty trash bag, Plastic sandwich bags, String, Hole punch, Eggs Procedure: 1. Cut a square from the garbage bag that is 20 inches on each side. 2. Use a hole punch to punch one hole in each corner of the piece of plastic garbage bag. 3. Cut four pieces of 20-inch long string. 4. Thread a piece of string through each hole in the bag and secure by tying the string firmly on each corner. 5. Place one egg into the plastic sandwich bag, twist the top of the bag and tie closed with the loose ends of strings. This will also attach the parachute to the bag holding the egg. 6. Repeat the experiment with different sizes of bags and strings (the length of the strings should match the size of one side of the square). 7. Think about what you know about wind resistance. Which size bag do you think will allow the egg to drift to the ground slowly? Make a note about you think will happen. This is called the hypothesis. 8.]Take the egg parachute to the second floor of your house and have a parent help you drop it from the window. Guide Questions 1. How fast did the egg fall with each size of parachute? 2. When did the egg break and when didn’t it?
3. Write your observations in a notebook.
4. Using 2nd of motion, if the mass, for instance, of the 2 eggs is 1 kg and 0.50 respectively, what is the value of corresponding net force that acts on each free falling object? 5. Using 2nd law of motion, what is the effects of egg’s gravity force and mass on its acceleration? PRACTICE True or False 1. The hammer encounters a smaller force of air resistance than the feather and therefore falls faster. 2. Both the hammer and the feather have the same force of gravity, yet the acceleration of gravity is greatest for the hammer. 3. Both hammer and the feather have the same force of gravity, yet the feather experience a greater air resistance. 4. Each object experiences the same amount of air resistance, yet the hammer experience the greatest force of gravity. 5. The hammer experiences less air resistance and then the feather and thus reaches a larger terminal velocity. ENRICHMENT A paint brush is dropped from the top of a tall ladder and free falls to the ground. What changes, if any would be observed of the velocity and acceleration of the brush as it falls? A textbook is dropped from the second story stairs and free falls to the ground. What changes if any, would be observed of the velocity and acceleration of the book? EVALUATION In your own words, explain why falling objects near the earth surface, in the absence of air resistance have constant acceleration applying the Newton’s second Law of motion.
