Book Maths Puzzle

This one is a little more difficult because you are not told if the object is heavier or lighter.

You have 9 gold coins. All 9 coins look exactly the same but one coin is a fake and is either lighter or heavier than the other 8 coins. You have a scale - balance type with 2 trays - but can only load it twice. How do you find the fake gold coin?
