Trial 1: Get a textbook and put a sheet of paper on top of it. Fold the paper as needed to keep the paper from sticking over the edge of the book. Hold the textbook with the paper on top, horizontally about waist high. Drop the book and paper so that they hit the floor flat. Record your observations. Trial 2: With the book in one hand and the paper in the other, drop the book and paper simultaneously from the same height. Record your observations.
