Play Centers Megabyte's Fun Experiments Soup Can Experiment Try this experiment the next time you have a bowl of soup. Take a full soup can and an empty one. Prop a board against a book to form a ramp. Hold the cans at the top of the ramp and then let them go at the exact same time. The cans need energy to move.
Weight helps to store energy.
The full can weighs more, so it has more energy and can go faster. You don't have to be big and strong like Bubba to do this trick. Here's how you do it. Ask your friend to sit in a chair with his or her arms folded, chin up and head high. Press your finger against your friend's forehead.
