Today we started with a science experiment.  Please see the handouts and procedure below.  If you have the supplies, feel feel free to replicate the experiment at home.  We did two experiments and changed the number of seconds from 20 to 40 in the second experiment.  You will notice that we graphed the 20 second results together and then students individually graphed the 40 second results.
