ReplyDeleteNonny
hey good job! that was a well put experiment!
ReplyDeletegood job rolling it
ReplyDeleteim glad she got it down the hill
ReplyDeletei think the myth was busted
ReplyDeleteyay
ReplyDeleteYes it is true because as it rolled in the video it did get bigger but as seen in the end it busted. To stay together I think that it would help to have a steeper hill because I believe that it would compact the snow more and make it stronger.
ReplyDeleteZ.S.G
very heavy snow ball i think it was very heavy
ReplyDeletei think that if you would push a snow ball down a hill that it would brake but one thing that would work is if you puched it slower then it would pack and stay together.
ReplyDeletei think the myth is busted because it didnt pack together good enough and broke apart.
ReplyDeleteI predict, that the snowball will roll down and crack well there's a cure for that.
ReplyDeleteFirst you have to pack it better and that's what I would do.
Sincerly,
Brayden
I think it is busted because it only got a tiny bit bigger then broke.
ReplyDeletefrom,
seth
I think the myth was busted and I Knew it wouldn't get bigger
ReplyDeleteI think to get it down the hill, you need to start with a smaller snowball
ReplyDeletenitaus
I think it was busted because no mater what, it still broke apart. A way to make the snowball go down without breaking is to put it down a not as steep hill.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is busted because it broke at the bottom.
ReplyDeleteBrandon
that was a good idea for an experiment.
ReplyDeleteI think this myth is busted because, the snowball started to grow but then at the bottom the snowball broke apart.
ReplyDeletelooks like it is a busted also a little bit of confirm cause it picked up 4 inches of snow
ReplyDeleteFor it to keep going and pick up snow, it needs to be better packing snow. I think this is confirmed though, because it did pick up snow, but then it was busted and it broke. - Shea
ReplyDeleteI think this myth was busted because when the snow ball went down the hill it got about 3 inches bigger than broke to lots of little pieces. I think the snow ball would have stayed up longer and may have gotten bigger if the hill wasn't so steep.
ReplyDeleteClarissa
I don't think so because the snow ball broke. Bobby
ReplyDeletei think it was busted because it broke at the end of the hill
ReplyDeleteI think the snowball got so heavy that it just fell apart or it was going to fast.
ReplyDeleteRandy
I don't think the snowball will get bigger as it goes down the hill. It was a very nice video and it explained a bunch. I always thought it would get bigger as it went down a hill until I saw your guys video.
ReplyDeletei don't think it will work because it probably will hit a rock or go too fast.
ReplyDeleteTREVOR...
i think its a myth because it got a little bit bigger at the beginning then started to slowly falling apart.
ReplyDeleteDestiny
i think it would have stayed together longer to if it was not so steep.
ReplyDeleteAustin
i think it was busted because it got to heavy or broke
ReplyDeletemax
I think that both of those myths were busted because the snowball got a little bigger but then it just crumbled into pieces. The other myth was busted because hardly any snow stuck to her.
ReplyDeleteAddie
I think that's a myth because it fell apart and I tried it at home once and it fell apart
ReplyDeleteOlivia
It didn't work because it got too heavy and just burst into pieces. I also think your guys video was awesome! It totally busted! WOOHOO!- Maddi
ReplyDeleteI think the myth is busted for both. Luke W.
ReplyDeletei pridicted that the snow ball would fall apart because bumps would
ReplyDeletemake it fall apart . also that wen she rolled down the hill she would not be a snow ball cause if you roll in the snow you dont turn into a snow ball .
raeann
i think that the snowball didn't keep getting bigger because it was not packed good enough or because it was getting too heavy.Sidney P.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it was busted i think that it did gather snow as it went down the hill but it did break up but only because it gathered to much if you would do it again with a smaller snowball it would work a little better
ReplyDeleteAshley
It did not work because it got going to fast. Trey
ReplyDeleteI think the myth mite be true and I kind of don't
ReplyDeleteI don't think that i should try this stuff at home. Tyler
ReplyDeleteBefore it happened I guest that it would start falling apart and go into pieces and it did.I think it got to heavy and the snow slid off and then it just fell apart because it was uneven.
ReplyDeleteBy:Austin B.
I thought it got bigger but got crushed under its own weight.
ReplyDeleteSebastian
I think that the snowball broke because the hill was to steep for it.
ReplyDeleteTaylor
i think that the snow ball would have broke and i knew that Mr.Losik's daughter wouldn't have got snow all over her when she rolled because i tried it before.
ReplyDeleteNiko.H
iv tried before too it did not work for me ether
DeleteI knew that the snowball would break because I've tried that before. But it is a really fun thing to do!
ReplyDeleteMadison B.
I thought that it would brake so the myth is not true.
ReplyDeleteMackenzie
I think it was going to get bigger but the hill was to steep or it hit a bump and broke.
ReplyDeleteTanna
it would get bigger and then break a part
ReplyDeletei think it was busted because it broke luke
ReplyDeleteI think it is true because it did get bigger
ReplyDeleteI thought it would break because it looked too big and too heavy
ReplyDeleteAngel
i think it needed to be packed down
DeleteI thought that it would brake and the snow would not attach to her.
ReplyDeleteJaden
i think it was comfirmed because the snow ball got bigger.
ReplyDeletechance
I thought the snowball was going to break but it actually got a lot of snow off the ground
ReplyDeleteGarett
it got alot
Deletei think it busted because it broke into pieces
ReplyDeleteshelby
I thought it would work with the snow ball but it didn't
ReplyDeleteI think it would brake or not get any bigger and i didn't think that the snow would stick to her.
ReplyDeleteTyler K.
i think it was a good myth to bust and i thought it was cool that it actually worked and i thought it woudlnt work and it fell apart so i think it still wasnt busted....... also when she tried to roll down it and thought the snow was going to stick but i thought it wouldnt
ReplyDeletewell it worked but then broke so it went good i wish i played in the snow more but i still play in snow i am going to make a big snow ball and make a fort if we get any more snow
DeleteI thought the snowball would break.
ReplyDeletei think the snowball did get bigger but then it broke
ReplyDeleteGretel
i think it would get bigger and not brake and that the snow wouldn't stick to her. Dereck R.
