Final Reflection 

Reflection: (Due Wed night in a google doc)

List some things that may have caused your numbers to be off.

Support your list by researching and citing evidence. explain how the problems arose and what you would do to fix the problem. Cite specific event from your previous labs (USE YOUR LAB PAPERS! I told you to keep them this is why) Use the numbers you wrote down and any notes you made while testing. 

If given the problem again what changes would you make to your design? 

BAD EXAMPLE:the moon's pull caused the water to flow differently.

As we all know the moon causes the tide to rise and fall. [1] During our test the moon's location was perihelion to our stand placing it behind our water source. This gravitational pull would have caused the water to accelerate down the ramp slower then it would have otherwise. This gravitational force should account for several milliliters of water not reaching the bottom of the ramp in the required amount of time.
