How do you know... suggest experiments that demonstrate something is false, especially the misconceptions below
Graphing Techniques

Misconceptions: All the statements below are false, how might you convince elementary school children (demonstration or simple experiment, or logical argument) of the following (BONUS OPPORTUNITY COMING SOON)

0. OVERALL/KINEMATICS
History has no place in science.
Two objects side by side must have the same speed. Acceleration and velocity are always in the same direction. Velocity is a force.
If velocity is zero, then acceleration must be zero too.

1. FALLING BODIES
Heavier objects fall faster than light ones.
Acceleration is the same as velocity.
The acceleration of a falling object depends upon its mass. Freely falling bodies can only move downward.
There is no gravity in a vacuum.
Gravity only acts on things when they are falling.
