I suspect it is something to do with surface areaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35187314.post-61762347063276556502007-11-21T15:52:00.000-05:002007-11-21T15:52:00.000-05:002007-11-21T15:52:00.000-05:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>I'm a teacher producing some development programmes about water slides, and am looking at variables that would affect speed, friction and acceleration. I have some investigations in mind, but I need to replicate a water slide minature in the lab for the kids to test their theories on! Any advice/suggestions on what materials to use (cheap, reliable and flexible, for twists and turns). I am looking forward to obtaining some interesting results!
