• three or more pieces of evidence

Claim:

• Bouncy balls bounce to different heights on different surfaces

• The ball bounced to 70 cm on the floor, 40 cm on the rug, and 10 cm on the dirt

• Different surfaces absorb different amounts of energy which causes the ball to lose different amounts of energy for bouncing.

Claim:

• Objects with a density greater than water will sink, while those with a lower density will float.

• The coin sinks to the bottom of the container, while the piece of wood and the bottle cap float on the surface.

• Density is the amount of mass per unit volume. Objects denser than water have more mass packed into a given volume and thus sink, while less dense objects displace enough water to stay afloat.
