You will be helping Galileo perform the experiment to determine if objects with different mass
fall at the same, or different, rates in the air and in a vacuum. Before you conduct your
experiment, you need to form a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a prediction of what you think will
happen in the experiment. The hypothesis is a statement that describes ir a certain set of
circumstances are present then there will be a specific result that will occur.
Record your hypothesis here:
