Unicycling

Post by deleted-648172 »

My son is learning to unicycle and would love to turn it into a science fair project somehow. But we're having difficulty coming up with an appropriate scientific question regarding unicycling. Any ideas to get our minds headed down the right track?

Hi tourvilleh,
I am not familiar with unicycle but if it has gear shift, may be you can do something similar to this experiment?

Another potential train of thoughts may be to do some kind of performance comparison such as "Under what condition does a unicycle perform better than a 2 wheel bicycle?"

Hope that helps get the process started.
Good Luck and please post again if we can be of any help.
