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:

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.
A really well structured investigation Alliah, well done! Maybe next time you can drop the ball from higher than 100cm? But otherwise really good job on your first science investigation!
