Domino Derby 1. Set up 25 equally spaced dominoes in a straight line. 2. Use a meter stick to measure the total length of the row of dominoes, and record the length. 3. Use a stopwatch to measure how long it takes the dominoes to fall. 4. Predict what would happen if the distance between the dominoes changed. 5. Test your prediction.
