It’s
raining, it’s pouring!
This week’s science experiment was wet, and rainy. The
supplies were quite easy, two almost exactly the same t-shirts and… [Drum roll
please,] rain?
The question is whether
walking in the rain gets you less wet than running. I believe it is true
because when you run you are in a hunched position and you have more surface
area exposed to the rain. When you walk you are upright and less area is
exposed. When Luke did the test of running and walking down the driveway, we
found that as he ran down the driveway he also ran into the droplets as well as
them hitting his back. Then while he walked, he kind of walked through the
water. If you look at the pictures and compare the shirts, the shirt from him
running [light grey] is wetter than the walking shirt. Drawing from our
results, I conclude that if you’re stuck in the storm, walk and don’t run to
shelter
