I think this was one of the coolest posts ever! These are actual kids who go to our school! The science behind the rubber gel was really interesting, and I really liked the interactive videos all about the importance of safety and how the rubber gel can help.

This was, like Alex said, really cool. I can't believe that kids from our school actually figured out / knew / know all of this. I also liked the video, and the charts made it way easier to understand. The rubber gel and how much of an impact it makes was really cool.

Isn't this the project that won the science fair, and they got to meet Obama for it? Anyways, I thought it was really cool, and the videos were funny and educating. Maybe scientists will find a way to produce rubber gel in a less expensive way.

This was really amazing. I can't believe that the kids are actually from our school. I thought that the charts were really helpful. I thought that using the rubber gel is really interesting.

I also think that this was really cool. I loved how they made a website to go along with their science fair project from last year. It just shows you how far you can go with a good project.

This was a really cool website, and the fact that it was made by Mirman students made it very interesting. I think that their research is very important.

Cypress said...

Wow! They must have done a lot of research on this because you can tell that they are very educated. The videos were a little cheesy, but they gave a lot of information. I can't believe that the rubber gel is almost twice as safe as foam! The website was confusing but it had good information.

It would seem that wearing rubber gel inside a helmet is safer than wearing foam inside a helmet. I am surprised it took three Mirman students to collect that data. Kudos! I know they said that the rubber gel is a lot more expensive, but manufactures should take all the regular helmets off the market and only sell helmets with gel inserts. Remember, safety comes ... FIRST, it is worth the expense when you are talking about a head injury.

Really intersting

I agree with Samantha because I thought that the rubber gel would be safer at first.
