 * Data**:


 * Trial || Force Downward || Force of Scaffolding = _ ||  ||   ||   || Force Upward ||   ||   ||   ||
 * || Force Down A (g) || Force Down B (N) || Total Downward (N) || Location of down force A (cm) || Location of Down Force B (cm) || Force Up A (N) || Force Up B(N) || Total Upward ||  ||

 * Graph** the relationship between total downward force and total upward force. Determine slope and formula for graph.


 * Sample Calculations**:

1. Total Downward Force = Force Down A + Force Down B + Scaffold


 * Questions**:

1. How did the total downward force compare to the total upward forces?

2. How did the location of the downward forces effect the upward forces?

3. If you had the opportunity to do more experimenting with scaffolding, what would you try? (Draw you experimental ideas - be creative:


 * Conclusion:** Write a paragraph in cursive that includes the following sentences:

Purpose Results - relationship from the graph and the formula Defense of results and how this demonstrates equilibrium Errors (list at least three IN DETAIL - "human error" is not detail!!)
