| Learning Aims: |
- Further experiments to find out which of both scenarios is most likelyeflecting on the students’ knowledge of physics to apply to this case.
|
| Materials: |
| To be decided by the students
|
| Suggestions for use: |
- Classroom discussion as introduction to the subject.
- Emphasize that further research is needed when the research thus far is not sufficient to draw a definitive conclusion.
- Address the fact that there are still doubts in this case, sometimes this is inevitable.
- Which other effects might occur in this case? How can this be demonstrated?
- If it is difficult for the students to plan the experiments, activity 1.6 might be done first, followed by activity 1.5 . In that case it is a more guided inquiry: find an experiment that demonstrates the telescoping effect.

| Possible questions: |
- Are there other facts that might be investigated further?
