Figure 1 shows a straw similar to what we used during our study. The dome test used a tray, 80 ml of each solution, two rulers and a straw. One ruler was placed in the tray with the solution to record the diameter of the dome and one was used to record the height of the dome. The 80 ml of solution was poured into the tray. One inventor puts one end of the straw into the tray of solution and blows through the other end for 5 seconds and the largest bubble is recorded with the rulers. The free…

The limitations of calculating π included the tools given for calculation. A paper tape measure consisted on units of centimeters and approximation to the nearest tenth could have limited the exercise. The best method was picking the closest centimeter measurement visibly possible for the diameter and circumference by wrapping the paper tape measure around the circles. The worst method would be using a ruler or meter stick. The only improvements that could be made is the use of smaller units to…
