Science Investigation
10th Nov 2015
The pupils got to handle each ball to help them make their prediction about which one would bounce the highest.
The pupils predicted which ball they thought would bounce the highest and recorded this on the whiteboard.
Pupils carefully carried out the investigation, dropping each ball from the 'drop zone' & recording how high it bounced. They measured the bounce using a metre stick.
Measurements were recorded in centimetres in a table on the white board. The indoor soccer ball narrowly bounced the highest, to a height of 98cm.
The children used MS Excel to present their results in the format of a bar chart.
Different versions of the bar chart were created, including some in 3-D.
