For our class experiment, our group wanted to choose something creative and exciting. We decided to work with a slinky. Yes, a slinky! For our experiment, we are going to drop a slinky down three separate flights of stairs severaltimes.They will have the same surface, but different heights. We will measure the distance that it falls and the effect that the distance has on the slinky’s acceleration. For the second part of the experiment, we will determine whether or not the surface has an effect on the speed of the slinky. For example, will it fall slower down a carpeted staircase than it will down a cement staircase?
