Ping Pong Ball Experiment

The purpose of this blog post is to demonstrate the scientific method. This is part of the end of the topic assessment.

Aim: To measure how high the ball bounces depending on the height where you drop it from.

Hypothesis: The higher you drop the ball, the more it bounces.

Method: Step 1: Get all the equipment( ruler, ping pong ball, retort stand,)

               Step 2: Set it up

               Step 3: One person(a) should hold the ruler and drop the ball at the same time

               Step 4: The other person(b) should pay attention to the ball & ruler so they can measure the                     height.

               Step 5: The person(a) holding the ruler should drop the ping pong ball in three different.                         heights.

               Step 6: You should do 3 different kinds of trials to compare the heights.

               Step 7: Write your results in.

               Step 8: Add the three trials to get the average height.
               Step 9: Make your line graph and add the details in.
               

Results: Graph 

Discussion + Conclusion: The higher you drop the ball the higher it bounces because when it's at a higher level its more gonna speed up in the surface which causes the ball to fly up higher in the air.

Evaluation: I followed a method which helped me to finish my experiment and I don't think I need to improve anything.
