After experimenting with this tube and getting to find out different facts about it, I have come to a conclusion about what is inside the tube. With the partner that I was with on this assignment, we figured out that there are only two ropes inside of the tube, and that one is longer than the other, and that the longer rope is looped through the upper right hand corner, down through the bottom, and out through the upper left hand corner. The second rope just goes straight across through the bottom two holes. We think this because we tested pulling on all of the strings, and we made a hypothesis on what the strings would do, and we were correct. Also, when the upper right hand string was pulled, the bottom left and right would move, and vice versa. Lastly, when we pulled the single string that ran acrosst the bottom of the tube, it went straight across smoothly. P.S. My partner and I thought that Mr.Wilcox's tube (with the purple paint on the bottom) has some type of washer wound through the rope on the bottom. We think that his was the only tube that was different. All of the other tubes were the exact same. We figured this out because we tested three other tubes and our ideas never changed.

I found that it was sort of frustrating. I just want to know what is inside that tube!

OOOOOOO here is a hint. don't ask yes or no questions. Mr. Kruse don't really give you straight answers but yes or no don't help that much either.

I never found out what was in the tube, but im pretty sure it was just a bunch of ropes put together.

ya i also think the ropes were looped or they were looped onto a connector or metal ring becuase if you shake it it would make noise and something in the tube was magnetic.

Okay. This was a good experiment! but it was a very LONG experiment. BUT I liked it! It was fun. But my class never did figure out what was inside of it. But I think it was looped in the middle. We also came up with an idea that what might be inside was ,micheal phelps.

I THINK THAT THE ACTIVITY THEY ARE HAVING US DO RIGHT NOW WILL HELP US USE OUR BRAIN CELLS MORE OFTEN AND TO GET US THINKING AND TO BE MORE DESCRIPTIVE IN OUR QUESTIONS
