Science - Bounce Ball Experiment

In science my class did an experiment about balls and me and my small group tried to predict where it would bounce up first and see and then do it 3 times, then add them all up and divide them by 3 to see the most average it would bounce up first

Aim - to investigate how many number can we get whilst the ball is bouncing up [first bounce]

Hypothesis- to investigate if you drop a ball with a little bit of pressure would it go up more when it bounce or does it just stay the same

My groups results [these is measured by centimeters]

20 = 15 -14 -16 = 15
40 = 22 - 31 -27 = 26
60 = 38 - 41 -40 = 39
80 = 52 -54 - 58 = 54
100 =  60 - 64 - 67 = 63

Method

we start at 20 and bounce the ball then go up by 20 or 10 then we add the 3 numbers that we get while bouncing then divide them by 3 to get the results [the numbers that we got are somewhat not accurate because we did by using our eyes and try to predict where it will land]

Key Variables

Control Variable = Surface where you dropped the ball from

Independent Variable = When you keep changing place where dropped the ball from, The number where you dropped it from

Dependent Variable = The height of where the ball bounced/ Ruler I think
