Title

Children's concepts about weight and free fall

Abstract

Our investigation aims at finding and interpreting everyday ideas about weight as described by children of the age range 4-13 years, using quite a large sample. Other investigators in the same area either did not perform their research with participants this young (Gunstone & White, 1980, 1981; Stead & Osborne, 1981), or the age range studied was quite narrow (Rodrigues, 1980).
