Instructions / Notes:

• This demonstration is a high drama comparison between the acceleration of bean and bacon verses consume soups.
• The demonstration when set up on the floor or two demo tables can give a comparison of the rolling motion over a longer distance.
• We provide three soup cans: 2 same size and different mass, and 2 different size but same mass. Please do not dent the cans.
