Can anyone tell me why in the world the second half of the page (everything after Demo #3) is indexed another 10 px? (that's what it looks like at least....might be wrong...but I didn't use a second body tag so I dun get it.) HELP!!

You need to close your tags:

code:

p><b>Observations:</b><br>

<ol>

<li>Which objects hit the ground first?  The heavier or the lighter?  Or do they hit simultaneously?</li>

<li>Do the objects fall at the same rate?  Why or why not?</li>

                                            <------------------------</ol>



<h2>DEMONSTRATION #3- PENDULUM SWINGS</h2>

If you get that kind of odd behaviour it could be down to things getting nested because of missing closing tags.

Put the </ol> *before* the tag in the example emps gave.

Actually, I'm not sure lists are allowed within tags. I think the best solution is

code:
