Walking in Straight Lines

Aim:
I want to find out if we need our senses to walk in a straight line.

Hypothesis:
I predict that if you don't have your senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing, touch) then you cant walk in a straight line.

Equipment:

  1. Blindfold to stop us from seeing
  2. Cotton wool to stop us from hearing and smelling
  3. Bucket for our head to stop the wind

Method:

I am going to attempt to walk in 200m straight line to a stake in the ground.

Put some cotton wool up your nose to stop yourself from smelling that lovely baking smell that will help you with your direction.










Put some cotton wool up in your ears to stop yourself from hearing the cars on the road.










Blindfold yourself.










Finally, put a bucket over your head.










Now you are ready to walk.

Results:
I started walking in a straight line. I ended up veering off to the left into the bushes
On my second attempt, I went a lot slower. I still ended up going off course. This time I veered to the right before ending up circling to the left again.

Discussion:
What are some real world examples of not being able to walk in straight lines?
Hint: How can you end up walking in circles when you are lost in the bush?
