L.O : Measuring and problem solving
Science protocol : Drop the ball from the given height and measure how high it goes
Material :
Complete the table with your results :
Dropping height :
Bouncing height:
10 cm
20 cm
50 cm
1m
Scheme: The ball should have a diameter of 1 cm
Step 1:
Step 4:
Create a line graph with the
results from your experiment
What do you notice about the dropping height and the bouncing height ?
Problem solving :
Use the data from your experiment:
What happens if you drop the ball from 4 meters ? from 5 cm ? How high is it going to bounce ?
Let’s consider that an apple falls from a 1 m tree and has a speed of 7 km. What is the speed of an apple
falling from an 89 m tree ? from a 457m tree ? from a 24.5 m tree?
