Science Fair 2011

Aiden participated in the 2011 Science Fair with a project he titled "Gravity Rocks!"  He tested how long it would take a marble to get down a tube depending on the angle of the tube.  His hypothesis was that as the angle got bigger, the marble would go faster (with the help of gravity).  He did a great job!  He learned enough about human error in science to use it as a rebuttal...ie:

Mom:   Aiden, you left some silverware on the table when you were clearing it.
Aiden:  Oh, sorry, Mom.  It's human error.

"Gravity Rocks!"

Hmmm...My hypothesis is...

Measuring the height of the tube

Tubes (courtesy of Christmas and a little duct tape), a tape measure, a marble and a stopwatch (not real high tech, but good enough for mom's runs and an annual science project).
