Directions:  

1. Fill a 2-liter soda bottle with water and use wire to suspend it about 1′ above the surface of a table, using a sturdy stick or ruler set across stacks of heavy books. (The bottle should hang freely between the books.)
2. Tape a sheet of paper with aluminum foil underneath it to the table, beneath the bottle.
3. Roll a felt-tip pen in a piece of paper, and tape it loosely enough for the pen to slide up and down.
4. Tape this roll to the side of the bottle so that the pen’s tip touches the paper.
5. Shake the table back and forth, gently at first and then a little harder. (Don’t move the table’s legs; shaking is enough.)
6. When you’re done, examine the paper. 
7. Find a partner and compare your graphs.
8. When you are all done, complete the self evaluation.
