"Students designed a force experiment where they dropped balls that weighed differently from the same height. What question could they be trying to answer?

• Does the weight of an object determine how fast it falls?

• Do larger balls bounce more when dropped from the same height?

• Will a ball dropped from different heights travel at the same speed?

• How does gravity effect the size of a ball?

Why is soil studied by scientists?

• Because soil has many layers

• Because soil is found everywhere so it is easily studied by scientists

• Because soil has many different colors and textures

• Because soil retention affects the water cycle and the living organisms on Earth

Gravel is...

• A component of soil that is usually a red-orange color; texture is thick and sticky when wet

• The top layer of soil; a mixture of types of Earth; texture will vary

• To hold inside, as soil does with water

• A component of soil made of small pieces of rock or pebbles.
