Teach Engineering: How Do Things Fall?
Students learn more about forces by examining the force of gravitational attraction. They observe how objects fall and measure the force of gravitational attraction upon objects.
Concord Consortium
Concord Consortium: Was Galileo Right?
Investigate the effect of gravity on objects of various mass during free fall. Predict what the position-time and velocity-time graphs will look like. Compare graphs for light and heavy objects.

University of Marylad: Computer Tutorials in Physics: Air Resistance
This site has a discussion of a college physics project in which the motion of an object under the influence of air resistance was modeled and studied. Procedure and modeling software are described and the results and the findings are...
