I am in the fourth grade and trying to develop an idea for an experiment 
using different sizes of steel balls-perhaps construct a maze to test 
weight and how it affects velocity ? Do you have any suggestions on how I 
could make it really interesting? Should I build two identical tracks so 
people can race them and experience the result? Should I drop them down 
tall beakers of water? OR should I run them down clear tubing? I guess 
this is a velocity experiment. Thanks for any helpful advice!!!!! Sam
