By: Rio and Liz
Hypothesis
Gather information
- Foot by foot strides work best
- Myth busters did it, people walked in circles
- Many people say its impossible
- In the building works best
Instructions
- Go in a large area (outside, gym)
- Put down the 15 foot masking tape on the ground
- Gather 6 people, 3 girls, 3 boys
- Rub chalk on the bottom of their feet, this will leave a track when they walk
- Give the person a blind fold
- Have each person walk toe to heel till they get to the end of the line
- Video tape them
- Look at video for results

Results
Conclusion
If people try to walk in a straight line while blindfolded then they will end up leaning to the side which will cause them to walk in a curve because they'll be unbalanced. Our hypothesis was accepted. Some errors that may have occurred may have included if the person was either on the line correctly or not, or how balanced they were to begin with.
