I enjoyed this activity and intend to use it in my classes. Also, I made a translation into Portuguese and would like to put it at the disposal of Phet group to post it on the site. For this, I await reply. Thank you. Renato Antonio Cruz (renatocruz@ifsp.edu.br) Renato Antonio Cruz'   11/24/14

Please email the author. Most teachers do not like having the answers published on this site because students can easily access all the materials. Trish   1/26/15

My daughter is 13 and we did this project together but do not know if we got it right. We thought it was a fun project but don't know if we did it right. Is there away we can match up our answer to the key that they have? Thanks. Lisa   9/14/15

Lisa, teachers do not post keys on the PhET website, you may try to email the author and see if he/she has one to share. Since this is an open website, some teachers do not wish to publish answers. Trish   9/22/15
