Bubble gum Experiment

Which one makes the best bubbles?

Chewing gum experiment

You will be in groups of 3 students to test the which gum is the best for bubble, stretch and taste.

Aim: To see which bubble gum makes the best Bubbles, has the best elasticity and keeps its taste for the longest.

Hypothesis: I think that the ? will make the largest bubble and have the longest stretch. The ? will have the longest taste.

Equipment:
  • 3 different chewing gum brands
  • stop watch
  • ruler
  • graph to record detail.
Method:
  1. Place the first piece of chewing gum in your mouth and time how long it takes to keep its taste.
  2. Chew the gum and record this time on the chart.
  3. Using the same piece of gum blow a bubble. Record on the chart as 'no bubble', 'small', 'medium', 'large'.
  4. Test for elasticity. Keep all of the gum in your mouth and see how long you can stretch it. Measure it and record its length.
Findings:

Hubba bubba lasted for 1 minute and 33 seconds. it is a medium bubble size. and stretches for about 48 cm

Extra lasted 48 seceonds and is a small bubble gum size with 40 cm

Pk lasted 1 minute and 44 second it is a small bubble gum size with 65 cm

2017 Blog Post

Welcome to my blog 2017 this will be shown in my everyday life spending my life at Hornby High School, learn, create and share.

Bouncy Ball

Bouncing Balls

Aim:
I want to find out if there is a relationship between how high a ball is dropped from and how high it bounces up.

Hypothesis:
I predict that the higher the ball is dropped from, the higher it bounces.

Method:
The equipment that I will need is:

  • Bouncy ball
  • Ruler
  • Stand with boss head and clamp



  1. Attach the clamp to the stand.
  2. Clamp the ruler onto the stand so that the zero mark is on the ground.
  3. Hold the bottom of the ball on 50cm and drop.
  4. Record the height of the bounce measuring the bottom of the ball.
  5. Repeat the experiment twice more and record the average measurement.
  6. Repeat the whole experiment using heights of 60cm, 70cm, 80cm, 90cm, 100cm
                                      
Variables:

Independent (changing) Variable = The height of the drop
Dependent (measured) Variable = The height of the bounce

    Results:


    Height of dropHeight of bounce on carpetHeight of Bounce of tarsal

    80 cm 31 cm35 cm

    90 cm 31 cm44 cm

    100 cm 39 cm47 cm

    Findings:
    1.At 80 cm the ball bounce at 31 cm on carpet and the other ball bounce at 35 cm on tarsal.
    2.At 90 cm the ball bounce at 31 cm on carpet and the other ball bounce at 44 cm on tarsal.
    3.At 100 cm the ball bounce at 39 cm on carpet and the other ball bounce at 47 cm on tarsal. 






    Discussion:

    Conclusion: When the ball was drop on 100 cm in the carpet the ball bounce 39 cm and in the tarsal the ball bounce 47 cm.
