A Full Investigation- Putting it all Together

In this investigation, you are to record the relationship between the height a ball is dropped from, and the height of the ball's first bounce.

Equipment: 

Meter ruler- tennis ball ( or another appropriate ball)
                                           retort stand- boss head and clamp.

Aim: Make a brief statement of the purpose of your investigation

Hypothesis: Make a prediction of what you expect to observe during your investigation.
 -If you dropped the ball the ball will bounce back and it will bounce half high/way.

Method: Give a step-by-step description of how your experiment is to be carried out.
 - grab the ball
 - Throw/ drop it.
 - measure it ( measurements must be made carefully to make sure all factors, except the independent variable, are the same.
 - write your observations.(When recording observations you should record only those that support your hypothesis.
 -  make results or make a graph.

Key Variables

Dependent:
-the hight of the bounce


Independent:
- where you dropped the ball from.

Control: 
-how much put a force on it or some person.

Results:
The first bounce is around 53cm we drop the height is a 100cm.
The second bounce is 26cm we drop the height is 50cm.
The third bounce is 15cm we drop the height is 30cm.
The fourth bounce is a 43cm we drop the height is 80cm.

Conclusion: each time we dropped the ball it bounces around half way.

The Merchant of Venice

What I think is going to happen in the story.
They all have a happy ending while shylock has a punishment.

Something I am interested in/wondering about after watching this videos.

I really like the trial scene in this movie and it seems a bit unfair.

Something I think will be challenging about Shakespeare and how I think I will overcome it?

I don't know.

She shared all her dreams and excitement with her father, who always had the answers to every questions. That is until one day when his chair is empty, not to be filled again.
