  1. Thank you so much for this video! I showed it to my kids and now may have a group who wants to enter the contest. Even if we don’t make the deadline, we might be doing something along those lines for Science class when we do machines.

  2. When I tutored in college, we used to take field trips to the Ithaca Science Center, which had a set of musical stairs. I’m not surprised that the percentage of people choosing the stairs over the escalator increased (although I am a bit surprised by the size of the increase). I can’t help but wonder how the percentages would change 1 month later, 3 months later, 6 months later, 1 year later, etc.

  3. Yes, the luster faded after about five minutes of the children “experimenting” with the steps. I am quite confident that the luster would fade in this case as well. I am curious about the extent to which it would fade though.
