This is because heavier objects fall at the same rate as lighter ones, which Galileo proved. Overall our lab went well and we learned a lot about pendulums.\n\nMR. ABARA'S CER RUBRIC:\n- Claim: one sentence that directly answers the lab question.\n- Evidence: cites specific numbers from YOUR data. (\"Our data shows\" with no numbers = Not met.)\n- Reasoning: explains WHY the evidence supports the claim, using a science idea from this unit (period depends on string length and gravity, not mass).\n\nLab partner Ines says we should add that air resistance messed up our results, but our numbers are basically the same so I don't think so.\n\nDue Friday on Canvas.","rules":[{"type":"numberedItems","count":3},{"type":"maxWords","max":70},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Asking for a grade","why":"The AI gives a score and a polished rewrite, so you don't learn which part is missing.","fix":"Say: \"Don't rewrite anything.
