Bead Observations

 

Heather and Mariah
 
2 micron beads: 20 µ of movement over two minutes
4 micron beads: 12.5 µ/ 2 minutes
8 microns beads: 15 µ/ 2 minutes
 
Our observations show that the 2 micron bead moved faster than both the 4 and 8 micron beads. The 8 micron bead moved faster than the 4 micron bead so we cannot say that this evidence supports Einstein’s theory or refutes it. However, the difference in movement between the 4 and 8 microns beads is smaller than the difference between the 2 and 4 micron beads so further observations could provide evidence in support of his theory.
