5. Name __________________________________________ Date___________
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:
A system of measurement and how to measure
A specified dropping height and how to drop
Force used to drop the balls
Surface 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.

6. *Your lab must be completed by the end of the period, tomorrow!!*
