2. Problem
Will the distance release affect the bounce distance between bounce 1 and bounce 2?

3. Hypothesis
I predict that the golf ball will bounce farther for bounce 2 then bounce 1.

4. Controlled Variable
Golf ball

5. Manipulated Variable
The release point or distance

6. Dependent Variable
The distance from bounce 1 to bounce 2

7. Materials
Carbon paper , goggles , golf ball , graph paper, lab report , masking tape , meter tape, towels, , 16D nails and PVC piping

8. Procedures
1. Draw a sketch 2.Get your supplies 3. Put on goggles 4. Put the tube together 5. Angle it 6. Get the golfball 7. Lay down paper towel Lay down the carbon paper 9. Mark the distance Record your reults

9. Observations
I observated that the frist trial was not as farther than the the other trials some times the golfball missed the carbon paper so we had to re-do the trial

10. Conclusions
In conclusions the higher you drop the ball the further it goes. I know this because bounce 1 was 38 cm, bounce 2 was 51 cm , bounce 3 was 75cm , bounce 4 was 88 cm , bounce 5 was 103cm , and bounce 6 was 112cm.

11. Possible Explanations
The angle of the pipe could have effected the distance of the golfball
