To carry out the ball drop test and graph
the results using excel ·

For
more detail on the first part of the lesson see Mr Dales planning sheets. I
took 25 mins to do this by which time all pupils had written a science question
all of which were along the lines of Does dropping the ball from a greater
height increase the amount of bounce? I
then demonstrated how to carry out the test after which I made up some
fictitious data and showed the class how to graph the data (See Bounce Test Video Help File) They
then went off in pairs with a ruler and tennis ball Logged
onto the network Downloaded
the partly completed spreadsheet Carried
out the test recording their results onto the spreadsheet and graphed the
results. They
then returned to class to analysis their results and write a conclusion |
