* '''Developmental Questions (What discussion questions)'''
  −
#Is there a difference when you hold each of them?
  −
#Is this due to inertia? Am I changing anything when I am holding?
  −
#What might this difference be due to?
  −
#This is due to a property called weight which is because the mass of this object interacts with another mass - that of the earth.  We call this weight
  −
#We will study more about this - but mass also interacts with other masses; this is called gravitational property
  −
#The Earth is not touching the object, but still its mass has an effect on the mass on my hand
  −
#Gravity can act at a distance between two masses
  −
* '''Evaluation (Questions for assessment of the child)'''
  −
#Does mass have both inertial and gravitational property?
  −
#Does gravitational property depend on size? Or mass?
  −
* '''Question Corner'''
  −
#If an object has inertia, when I drop the object why does it fall?
  −
#Do you feel the gravitational effect of the Earth?
