How to explaining wind resistance to a child.

Asked by eaplai (11points) May 20th, 2010

I was saying to my nephew heaver object don’t fall faster. He then said feathers fall slower, I went to explain that’s because of wind resistance, he then said so when is it if I dropped a lead sheet it would still fall fast.

What’s the best way to explain this to a child so it’s clear for them to understand?
