No, neglecting air resistance, all objects fall at the same rate regardless of their mass or shape. Galileo was right about this, as proved on the Apollo 15 mission to the moon. An astronaut on the moon (where there is no air) simultaneously dropped a hammer and feather, and they both fell straight down at the same rate, and hit the ground at the same time.

Why do rivers deposit heavier sediments first?

Because it requires more energy to transport heavier sediment than lighter sediment. As a river flows it loses energy, and hence begins to drop the heavier sediment. Imagine you had a handful of sand and a handfull of flower. The sand is heavier than the flower, and also larger. If you blow on both of your hands, the flower will be easily blown away, but the sand will be more difficult, because the grains are bigger and heavier, and require more energy to move.The heavier sediments are the first to overcome the power of the moving water with the power of gravity.

Is 900 grams bigger or 1 gram bigger?

Well technically weight has nothing to do with "bigger" but what I think your looking for it heavier, and 900 is heavier then 1 gram. Although if you're some sort of psychotic guy and is in fact looking for what is bigger. 900 grams of something would be bigger if it was the same object (without compression)
