Including an impromptu recreation of Galileo's experiment, as I discover
that these kids are at the age where they still think heavier things fall
faster.

In second grade, my daughter was assigned to write a paragraph answering the
question: Which is heavier, a pound of feathers or a pound of lead?

At the point when I first looked over her shoulder, she had written: "A pound
of feathers and a pound of lead are just as heavy". I was impressed and
proud.

Her finally essay read, in its entirety: "A pound of feathers and a pound of
lead are just as heavy. Because feathers are very heavy and so is lead."
