Science Fair Update 2: Materials and Experiment
Today I collected all the necessary items needed for my experiment. I have prepared the surfaces in my living room and made sure all the objects weighed the same. Unfortunately the ice surface will not be done experimented with until winter break. Luckily i have managed to get a big fan in order to simulate wind resistance on objects while they are sliding over the surfaces. The bad news in this is that i can't start tonight reason being that the spring scale i bought measured force in large amounts and did notice this until the evening. This means that i can't accurately measure the force since the static friction is so low. Tomorrow i will ask Mr. Iskander or Mr. Gwizdala if they know if there is a spring scale within the school. If i do obtain the scale i should have the experiment done by tomorrow night and have data ready by Tuesday morning. Other than that the power point should be finished by Wednesday.
