  1. Bouncy Balls A Comparison of three kinds of super balls. 1-20-2011 By Calum, Dayton, and Regan Hoblet With help from Ward Walker

  2. Summary • The three False Pass primary school students, Calum, Regan and Dayton Hoblet tested to see which kind of super ball would bounce the highest. • They found that a ball that was clear inside bounced the highest, while one that was lumpy did the worst. The opaque one was in the middle.

  3. Question: • Are super balls all the same or are some better than others? • Which one is best?

  4. Hypothesis: • The lumpy ball will bounce the lowest. • The clear ball will bounce the highest.

  5. Research: • A ball picks up energy and speed as it falls. When it hits the ground it changes shape, stretches, and comes to a stop. Then the ball goes round again and this pushes the ball back up. • http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_does_a_ball_bounce

  6. Materials: • Three different super balls: clear, cloudy and lumpy. • Ladder • Tape measure • Ruler • Tape

  7. Procedure: (how to do something) • Drop each ball from 8 feet high three times and measure how high it bounces back. • Make a table and record the results. • Average the three results and compare them. • Graph the results • (See photo for setup)

  8. Data:

  9. Graph of data

  10. Calum drops the solid ball

  11. Dayton drops the clear ball

  12. Regan drops the lumpy ball

  13. The three super balls: clear, solid, and lumpy.

  14. Summary of Results: • The clear ball bounced the highest all three times. • The lumpy ball bounced lowest all three times. • Hypothesis confirmed.

  15. Conclusion: • Clear balls bounce the best, and lumpy balls bounce the worst. • Solid balls bounce in the middle.

  16. Journal Entries: Date:1-18-2011 • What was accomplished: We planned our experiment. • We came up with a question, hypothesis, materials and procedure. Date: 1-19 2011 • What was accomplished: We did the experiment. • We made a graph and made a summary of the results and a conclusion. • We took pictures. Date:1-20-11 • What was accomplished: We recorded our data in a table and made a graph.
