For adults

Use the same object, surface, ramp, and starting point when the page asks for a fair comparison, changing only the strength or direction of the push. Invite your child to predict first, measure or draw what happened, and describe the evidence in their own words; supervise each hands-on test and choose safe objects and spaces.
