Abstract

• The purpose of these project is to
  find out if humans are
• capable of challenging law of gratvity by
  practicing their muscles and going back to our
  origins. The experiment will involve professional
  people, a person with a healthy body and a not
  healthy body. It will also need a bamboo
  structure for the experiment. First data will be
  collected based their body conditions and their
  performance. Then notes will be taken. When the
  observations are done the results will be due. If
  humans are capable of doing such things as if
  there where no gravity limits then we are can
  challenge gravity an old humanity dream.

Purpose

• I am doing this project to clarify if ours
  agility of doing extremly cool things such as
  jumping and climbing associated to our ancestors,
  the monkey based on Darwins logic, depends on
  our body conditions and practice or on the
  equipments to help levitate that we use.

Problem

• I am doing this project to clarify if
  humans agility of doing amazing things as
  climbing, jumping associated to our accentors,
  the monkeys based on Darwins logic, depends on
  our body conditions and practice or on the
  equipments we use? Can we renew our origins or we
  had already past from so many
• evolutions that we are a new specie with new
  methods of defending our self?

Background

• Sir Isaac Newton was taking tea under the
  apple trees in the
• family gardens at Wools Thorpe one Summers
  afternoon in 1665
• when an apple fell from an overhanging branch,
  plunked him on
• the head, and provided him the inspiration for
  his law of
• gravitation. It may have happen that way, but no
  one
• knows for sure. Even the famed British astronomer
  Sir
• Harold Spencer Jones, who publicly stated in 1944
  that the
• story was probably true, later went back, noting
  that "one
• cannot be sure either way." For doing this
  project I had to
• observe people performance in a circus called
  Cirque du Soleil.
• Also I had to observe body conditions of
  different people to
• know if challenging the law of gravity the person
  has to have a
• good and healthy body conditions.

Methodology

• Decide on a topic.
• Do hypothesis.
• Do proposal.
• Ask 5 different people to participate
• Build the bamboo structure with profesional help.
• Ask the volunteers to try to have balance and
  sustent their body on the bamboo.
• Observe volunteers.
• Record informations.
• Analyze results.
• Draw conclusion.
• Make the poster.

Hypothesis

• If humans can do amazing things in circus
  challenging gravity jumping, doing pirouettes,
  then humans are capable of challenging gravity
  depending on their body conditions and/or
  equipments.

Experiment

• For the experiment first I will decide
  on a topic, then I will do the hypothesis and
  after the proposal. I will need to ask 5
  different people to participate. Next I will
  build the bamboo srtucture with a adult help.
  Volunteers will try to have balance and to
  sustent them selfs on the bamboo. Also while
  volunteers are doing the experiment i will be
  observing it. Then I will have to record the
  info, analyze results, and draw conclusion. Last
  but not least I will due the wonderfull poster.
