Example Data for Bounce Height Lab
LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now by identifying the variables for the MiniLab.
5min Students practice using Meter Sticks. Measure heights.
5min Teacher outlines the procedures for the MiniLab and distributes materials (bouncy ball).
10-15min Working in pairs, students complete Trials 1-4 and record data. Students also label chart, identify variables, develop their hypothesis, and enter numbers into a spreadsheet to determine averages.
10min Students plot the data and add a trendline. Students discuss the significance of the trendline. Students make a prediction for the bounce height if the ball was dropped from 120cm.
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
AIM: Students perform an experiment to collect, analyze, and interpret the data.
