Questions for Discussion: Galileo on the Moon

  • Why did the hammer and the falcon feather hit the ground at the same time on the Moon?
  • What would you predict if you dropped a hammer and a falcon feather on Earth? Would they hit the ground at the same time or at different times? Explain your reasoning.
  • If you couldn't go to the Moon, how could you create a situation on Earth to do this experiment?
