146.jpg (35024 bytes) Annette, Jamie and Anthony check the level on their "beam". Did they remember to set the Newton scales to zero? 
Sonia isn't so sure that Joseph has added sufficient counterweight to prevent the stands from falling over. 147.jpg (33370 bytes)
148.jpg (28999 bytes) Mike and John raise the level of the clamp holding one of the Newton spring scales.
Definitely not level...and the Newton scales aren't quite vertical. Justin, Carol, Sonia and Joseph consider the difficulties of setting up the apparatus. 149.jpg (40975 bytes)
150.jpg (36760 bytes) Michael and Elaine find a good use for a stack of Science 9 books.
Hope that rubber band doesn't break under the tension. Silvanna and Joseph look on as Sonia makes a careful reading. 152.jpg (49120 bytes)
151.jpg (33485 bytes) Anthony makes a suggestion to Melissa, Margaret and Annette.
