1. Flip Up Lab Report
Experiment # 1 - Spacers

2. System
A set of objects that are related in some way and can be isolated for study

3. Trajectory
A curved path that a projectile takes

4. Question What is the relationship between the number of spacers
and the average height
the aluminum ball flips?

5. Hypothesis If the number of spacers increases, then
the average height the aluminum ball flips will
increase, decrease, stay the same

6. Constant (Controlled) Variables
Stick length – 0 cm
Angle – 0 °
Mass of Aluminum Ball – 1g
Flipstick # 1
Aluminum ball between the two psp’s
Flipstick pushed all the way in and down
Same person – same launch technique

7. Control Test
How many spacers are there in the control test?
O spacers

8. # 1. Answer the Question
If the number of spacers increases, then the average height the aluminum ball flips will decrease.

9. # 2. Specific Quantitative Data
For example,
when you have zero spacers
the average height the aluminum ball flips is cm
compared to six spacers and an average height of cm.

10. # 3. Refer to Your Hypothesis
My hypothesis was if the number of spacers increases, then the average height the aluminum ball flips will decrease.
It was right.
As the number of spacers increases, the average height decreases.

11. Or
My hypothesis was if the number of spacers increases, then the average height the aluminum ball flips will increase.
It was wrong.
As the number of spacers increases, the average height decreases.
