peanut butter drop! peanut butter drop!
Grab:
  • slices of bread
  • peanut butter
  • butter knife
  • ladder
  • a mop!
how?
  1. Make a bunch of open face peanut butter sandwiches.
  2. Slide one, face up, slowly toward the edge of the kitchen counter, and let it fall to the floor.
  3. Which side lands down? Try sliding a sandwich from a lower level, like from the seat of a chair, or higher, like off a step ladder.
  4. Does the sandwich always land face down? Is there a height from which it lands face up? What if you use a different size bread slice, or a cracker? Hey, don't forget to clean up your mess!!
what happened?
try the experiment, tell us what happens and watch dftv for your results! From how high did your sandwich land face up?
