Microgravity and how you can go weightless.
“Our experiment did really well and I had fun at the same time too. For our experiment we had to duct tape to the ground so it wouldn’t fly away and we also had to set up the experiment before we got to zero gravity because of such short time. Its improvising like this that made it challenging and a great learning experience.”

Join Mr. Garcia's class as he incorporates his weightless flight into the classroom. He and his students are creating weight charts for other planets using the science from his amazing Lunar, Martian and zero gravity experience. Very cool science project! (You will need PowerPoint to view this document.)
Thanks to CPO Science, Zero G's weightless experience will soon be part of high school classrooms' regular science instruction. Found in the book's Unit on Forces and Motion, Chapter 5 discusses parabolic flight and how Zero G is able to create various states of gravity. Read more in the attached.
