8 Grosse Pointe
Farms, Michigan
Bottle Blowing in Space: This
experiment determines if blowing
across the tops of bottles filled with
different amounts of water create the
same tones in space as on Earth.
Vaughan Elementary 5 Powder Springs,

Speed: This experiment determines if
the radius (of the circle of revolution)
affects the speed at which an outer
object travels around a central object,
and whether microgravity changes the
results in this experiment.
Hamlin School 7 San Francisco,

Water and Hot Sauce: This
experiment determines if adding water
to hot sauce in a microgravity
environment affects its surface
