Rob A. Millikan's Oil Drop Experiment

Thanks it helped me understand this a lot better for my project.

Well, I was entertained although I'm not sure why you made this this isn't a CYS instead of just a powerpoint or something.

srsly? i didnt understand most of it, and it's not a storygame. i rated it bad despite what you said. 1/10

Well, as Jimmy said, this is not a story nor a game. So I can't give it anything higher than a 1. I guess it's an alright school project, but due to the fact that this is a "Choose Your Own Story" site (Where you make choose your own storygames), it just doesn't seem to fit. Sorry.

Not a story, not a game, Not good.

Well I definetely learned something. I think adding the pictures and animations helped with understanding tremendously. I just wish that there was some actual choice. Maybe some different outcomes or alternate events that could've happened. For example, maybe if I screwed up the experiment some other scientist from the time could've discovered it and not me.

But none-the-less, know what you're talking about and taught me it better than my science teacher ever could have (He's an asshole. :P)
3/8.

Good school project :)

And Harvey Fletcher! Fletcher did a lot of the work, but Millikan threatened to withhold his PhD unless Fletcher took his name off the paper.

Millikan cheated on the actual experiment, too. He threw out a bunch of data that didn't support his conclusion.

Since you were doing this for a school project, I give you props for creative presentation and excellent use of GIFs for the oil drop animations.

For those who are deciding whether or not to play this game, however, it was actually slightly less fun than homework. You might find it interesting if you didn't already learn about Millikan's Oil Drop experiment, but still have enough physics background to understand why the experiment works. For anyone not in high school yet, this game probably makes little to no sense. For those who are past that lovely stage in our education, it's a rehash of a topic we will probably never be tested on again.

Essentially, this is a science project, not a game, and should not be played for entertainment value unless you have an undying love for physics.

Very informational. I wonder why the rating is so low... Learned a bunch from it.
