start line. Let it walk. Once it stops, MARK WHERE
IT STOPS.
Step 5: Measure in inches how far the nose walked
from the start line to the final mark. Then measure it
in centimeters, and record your answers.
Step 6: Wind up the nose six times, and put it on the
start line. Let it walk. Once it stops, MARK WHERE
IT STOPS.
Step 7: Measure in inches how far the nose walked.
Then measure it in centimeters, and record your
answers.
