How WE can help the Philippines…

What TIME said about it

 

A really bad Typhoon hit the Philippines the last couple of weeks and the Typhoon killed of an estimate of 2,500 people!!!! It caused debris to fall onto power lines and and smashed vehicles. And the city of tacloban is ALMOST ENTIRELY DESTROYED It was just that bad. On November 11, U.S marines came to deliver food to Tacloban.  They also brought Water and medicine. The American Red Cross could help because it has a service that helps families in need of help. Oxfam h sent helpers to help the families who are in trouble. ChildFund International is giving. Care has sent workers to the Philippines. The organization accepts donations at care.org.

What WE can do to help them.

We can go to the Philippines and help them and bring some more food and water and medicine. Send money to them and so they can afford stuff they need to get and they are stranded and lost and since they have the money they could go to a hospital and pay to be cared for.

What did I learn from the experiment?

I learned that friction would slow down the marbles. I also learned that the bigger the marble the faster the marble will go down the ramp. And the steeper the ramp is the more the gravity can pull onto the marble and pull it down even faster. And I also learned that at the beginning of the ramp the marble goes the slowest. In the middle it goes faster and at the end the force it stops it and at the moment the force is me or Landonian.

How can I apply this to my pinball machine

Maybe I could let everybody have three turns and each time I could put books or something under the pinball machine and then the pinball machine would be higher up and so the gravity would pull it down faster and it would be harder to keep the pinball inside of the machine. And it would be kind of scientific to do that I think.
