BOUNCY BALL SCIENCE
Goal:
The goal of this project is to create a lab with precise details and procedures that another person can follow and end up with
the same results.
Objective of the Experiment:
Using three bouncy balls, design a test to see which ball can bounce the highest.
Directions:
Step One: Complete the given lab-sheet titled Bouncy Ball Science Rough Draft.
•State the purpose in the form of a question to answer based on the objective of the experiment as stated in the goal.
•Write a hypothesis for the experiment
•Write all of the necessary materials for the experiment
•Write a procedure that you will follow in order to do the experiment
Your procedure must include the following:
oA system of measurement and how to measure
oA specified dropping height and how to drop
oForce used to drop the balls
oSurface the balls are dropped on
Step Two: Gather the materials needed, conduct the experiment following the procedure you wrote, and complete the
observation and conclusion on the lab-sheet.
Step Three: Edit the procedures or the materials you used to conduct the experiment
•Add more steps/details if necessary
Step Four: Write up your lab report and create your graphs for your data.
*Your lab must be completed by the end of the
period, tomorrow!!*
