How does the height from which you drop a ball affect the height that it will bounce?

• The higher the drop, the higher the bounce.

• The height of the drop does not affect the bounce.

• The higher the drop, the lower the bounce.

• The ball will not bounce at all.

I think this because ______________

• it is logical

• it is supported by evidence

• it is a common belief

• it is my opinion

Scientifically speaking, I think if a ball is dropped from a greater height then, it will bounce higher because ______________

• it will flatten on impact

• it will fall faster

• it will take longer to reach the ground

• it will have more potential energy

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE ______________

• is the variable you are measuring

• is the variable you are changing

• is the variable you are keeping constant

• is the variable you are observing

DEPENDENT VARIABLE ______________

• is the variable being measured or tested

• is the variable being controlled

• is the variable being manipulated

• is the variable being ignored

CONSTANTS ______________

• are variables that change

• are variables that remain the same

• are variables that are not used

• are variables that are unknown

Given the following set of numbers 22, 26, 20, 21, 27, 29, 30, what’s the numerical range of the data?

• 0-10

• 10-20

• 20-30

• 30-40

What’s the graph telling you?

• The graph shows an increasing trend.

• The graph shows a decreasing trend.

• The graph shows no significant change.

• The graph shows a cyclical pattern.

What kind of patterns do you see in the data?

• Trends over time

• Seasonal variations

• Random fluctuations

• Cyclic patterns

How do the patterns or trends that you see in the graph relate to other things you know?

• They show a similar increase over time.

• They show a similar decrease over time.

• They show no significant change over time.

• They show a random fluctuation over time.
