ping pong ball experiment

Our experiment was about the scientific method of our experiment the ping pong drop .

Aim:the aim of the experiment is how high the ball will drop from a distence.

Hypothesis:I predict that the ball would not fall at different heights.

Method:
  1. Method: set up the experiment are
  2. Grab ping pong ball and put it carefully at the high you want (probably start with 20cm than go up by 20 cm each time untill you hit 1 meter)
  3. Dropit again to test if the drop bounce was equal
  4. Compare all of your findings 

Discussion the ball bounced higher the higher it was dropped because the air resistanc was pushing the weight back up again.

  1. Hi Liam, great first science blog. You used your discussion to explain what you observed and why it might have happened. Does your hypothesis match your aim about trying to find out the height the ball bounces too? Next time it would be good to have a hypothesis that is about your aim as well as having your results written in so we can see what you found out.
