Our supper conversation tonight involved the discussion of a bullet shot and a bullet dropped from the same spot and which would hit the ground first. Suffice it to say that only one child understands gravity/is not stubborn.
As I was cleaning up, Chase asked which would accelerate faster if hit with a golf club...a golf ball or a cotton ball? Two kids immediately said the golf ball. William pipes up with, "No way. Force = mass x acceleration. So, that means that acceleration = force/mass. If the golf club has the same force on each one, then the one with the smaller mass accelerates faster. The cotton ball wins." 
🤔
I'm just going to go ahead and declare us a house full of nerds.
