LEGO-Based Free-Fall Experiment For Any Science Fair

The LEGO-Based Free-Fall Experiment explores how objects fall under gravity, demonstrating that all objects fall at the same rate without air resistance. The objective is to engage visitors by allowing them to predict and observe the fall of various objects using a LEGO-built structure. Materials include LEGO bricks, different objects, a stopwatch, and measuring tools, with no specific safety considerations mentioned.

LEGO-Based Free-Fall Experiment

●​ Muhammad Saffan

Scientific Concept/Theme:
In a free-fall experiment, we observe how objects fall under the
force of gravity alone. All objects, regardless of their mass, fall at the
same rate when air resistance is not a factor. This means a brick (a
heavy object) and a ball (a light object) dropped from the same
height will hit the ground at the same time. As the object falling
increases in distance from the ground, the more time it takes to
reach it. Using this experiment we can predict and measure how
gravity affects falling objects and better understand motion and
acceleration in the light of Newton’s Laws.

Objective or Curiosity Spark:


Visitors will feel curious and fascinated by the fact that all
objects, regardless of their shapes and size, fall at the same rate
when there is no air resistance and how air resistance plays in this
equation. They can perform demonstrations of dropping objects of
different sizes and predict that which one will drop first.
Materials:
●​ Standard LEGO bricks (to build a tower)
●​ Different objects (Marbles, Feathers, Balls etc.)
●​ Stopwatch
●​ Ruler or measuring tape

Instructions:
●​ Use LEGO bricks to build a vertical structure
●​ Label every 10 cm or 20 cm to track how fall time changes with
height.
●​ From different heights, drop the different objects.
●​ Use a stopwatch (or film in slow motion) to record how long it takes
to hit the ground.
●​ Take 3–5 trials per height for accuracy.

Safety Considerations:
​ No Safety Considerations
