bead observations

We observed the beads moving in the same pattern that Einstein stated: the 2 microns moved the most, the 4 microns moved some, and the 8 microns very little. The 2 micron in diameter beads moved 247.5 microns. The 4 micron beads moved at 10 microns. The 8 micron beads moved at 2.5 microns.  We repeated the procedure but found that none of the beads moved at all, so did not include this data. From our observations, it appears as if Eistein's statement was correct but we cannot be sure because we only collected one "legitimate" set of data.
