Free Fall of Bodies

WATCH THE FULL ACTIVITY VIDEO

⚠️ This material is an adapted activity with questions (it is not a complete theoretical workbook on the topic).

Number of questions in the activity:
6 adapted questions + complete answer key, involving gravity, free fall, Galileo’s experiment, comparison between Earth and the Moon, gravitational acceleration, and variation of velocity.

Target Audience:
Students in Middle School, High School, Youth and Adult Education (EJA), and Specialized Educational Support (AEE).
Especially recommended for students with Intellectual Disabilities (mild to moderate), ASD, ADHD, Down Syndrome, and difficulties in understanding abstract Physics concepts.

Format:
Color printable PDF with strong visual support (falling objects, Tower of Pisa experiment, Earth vs. Moon comparison, building sequence), simple language, and objective activities, with answer key included.

Important for the teacher:
This material was developed as a practical activity with questions and can be used as:
✔ content introduction
✔ learning reinforcement
✔ adapted assessment

Key Features:

✅ Teaches the concept of gravity in a concrete way (falling objects).
✅ Explores Galileo’s experiment in a visual and contextualized manner.
✅ Compares Earth and the Moon, facilitating understanding of gravity.
✅ Introduces the concept of free fall in an accessible way.
✅ Works with gravitational acceleration through visual sequences (0 m/s → 10 m/s → 20 m/s → 30 m/s).
✅ Uses building representation to visualize the increase in velocity over time.
✅ Objective questions with simple language, reducing cognitive overload.
✅ Progressive teaching sequence: observe → understand → compare → apply.
✅ Strong visual support that reduces abstraction in Physics.
✅ Can be used in regular classrooms, AEE, or individual support.
✅ Ready-to-use adapted assessment.
✅ Saves 4h52min of teacher planning time.
