Why is a plane able to stay in the air for a long period of time?

• The plane weighs less so gravity does not effect it.

• The plane produces a force that overcomes the pull of Earth's gravity.

• The plane has special equipment inside the cabin.

• The plane gives off sound and light energy.

What is a way to check the results of another scientist's experiment?

• Repeat the experiment but change a few things to see if you get the same results.

• Repeat the same experiment the exact same way to see if you get the same results.

• Watch a video of a different experiment and write their results down.

• Make a good guess about what you think should happen in the experiment and write that down.
