Take a full-length piece of No. 6 tubing, smooth both ends and flare them out slightly. This makes an excellent pea shooter. Try it with peas. Do you find that they come out with great speed?

Experiment 28. A Pea-Shooting Match

Make a target on a piece of paper, hang it up away from the wall or at the edge of the table, and shoot at it (Fig. 40). Do you find that the peas go right through the paper?

Arrange a match with your friends and keep track of the score as in Experiment 25.
