This Year 5 Exploring Gravity Worksheet helps pupils to investigate the impact of size or mass on the time it takes a ball to reach the ground. The worksheets will take pupils through the aim, method, equipment and prediction phases of their investigation. It will also help them consider which variables need to remain consistent and which need to change. After pupils have completed the investigation and filled their findings into the table, they will then have the opportunity to explain their results and consider the next steps in their learning.
