Four students each had a piece of paper. The papers were identical exempt for color. The students all made different shapes out of their paper. Then they dropped each paper from the same height at the same time. The following shows the order that each paper reached the ground. Which property had the GREATEST effect on the rate each paper reached the ground? Shape, Color, Texture, Size
What is the shape? (more air resistance)

A student rolled three bowling balls along the same flat surface. Each bowling ball had a different mass. If the student used the same amount of force each time he rolled a bowling ball, which bowling ball would travel the SHORTEST distance? Bowling Ball 1 (3.6 kg), Bowling Ball 2 (4.5 kg), Bowling Ball 3 (5.4 kg)
What is Bowling Bowl 3? (because it weighs the most)
