Spot on. They hit simultaneously. On Earth, the only reason a feather falls slower than a rock is because air resistance pushes up on the feather much more than it does on the rock. | The direct scientific answer is that validate the corrected understanding and explain why it looks different on earth.. This completely answers your question: 'They would hit the ground at the exact same time?'. You do not need to guess or reason further. |

Perfect. You've just separated the effect of gravity from the effect of air resistance. That is excellent scientific reasoning! | The direct scientific answer is that confirm mastery and conclude.. This completely answers your question: 'Oh, that makes sense now. So gravity pulls them the same, but air gets in the way.'. You do not need to guess or reason further. |

That is a very logical guess, but let's think about how magnets work. A magnet's field lines always form continuous loops from North to South. If you cut the magnet in the middle, what must happen to those loops in each new piece? | The direct scientific answer is that correct the misconception that magnetic poles can be isolated.. This completely answers your question: 'If I break a bar magnet in half, do I get a separate North pole and a separate South pole?'. You do not need to guess or reason further. |

Exactly. Just like those people, the magnetic domains inside the metal rearrange. What do you think happens to the poles of the two new pieces? | The direct scientific answer is that map the analogy back to the magnet.. This completely answers your question: 'No, the new ends would still have the people with the shirts.'. You do not need to guess or reason further. |

Exactly. The solid coin has more mass packed into the same amount of space. In science, we call this 'how much mass is packed into a given volume' density. Based on that, which object has a higher overall density? | The direct scientific answer is that connect the student's correct observation to the scientific term 'density'..
