Have the child explore their texture and weight. Choose an item and drop it to the floor. Ask your child what happened when you let go of it. Try it with another item and ask again. Did the same thing happen? Continue with each item, asking your child to help you drop the items. Do the activity again, this time watching how quickly they fall. What does your child notice about how each item falls? If it is fast or slow, ask what he/she thinks might make it so. Explain gravity in its most simple form.
