Bouncy Ball Experiment Questions

Katie Nguyen and Eva explore the science of bouncing by experimenting with various objects, including basketballs and homemade bouncy balls. They demonstrate how to make bouncy balls using borax and glue, test their bounce heights, and conduct a challenge to see which ball bounces higher. The video encourages viewers to try the experiments at home and observe the results.

What is the main focus of the experiment introduced by Katie and Eva?

• Bouncing different objects on a basketball

• Building Lego structures

• Cooking with borax

• Painting with sparkle glue

What happens when a ping pong ball is bounced on top of a basketball?

• The basketball bounces lower

• The ping pong ball breaks

• The basketball deflates

• The ping pong ball absorbs energy and bounces higher

What is the first step in making a homemade bouncy ball?

• Mixing borax with warm water

• Adding sparkle glue to a mold

• Heating the borax

• Freezing the mixture

How does the amount of sparkle glue affect the homemade bouncy ball?

• It determines the size of the ball

• It makes the ball heavier

• It changes the color of the ball

• It makes the ball less bouncy

What should you do after making a bouncy ball?

• Paint it with sparkle glue

• Leave it in the sun to dry

• Wash your hands and keep it away from pets

• Put it in the refrigerator

What was observed about the bounce height of homemade bouncy balls compared to store-bought ones?

• Homemade balls bounce higher

• Both bounce the same height

• Store-bought balls bounce higher

• Homemade balls do not bounce at all

What was the result of the Super Bouncy Ball Challenge?

• Both balls bounced the same height

• The bigger ball bounced higher

• Neither ball bounced

• The smaller ball bounced higher

What happened to the homemade bouncy balls after several tests?

• They changed color

• They melted

• They started breaking apart

• They became more bouncy

What is the purpose of the Mega Wow Award of Bounciness?

• To award the best-looking ball

• To acknowledge the most creative design

• To recognize participation in the experiment

• To reward the highest bouncing ball

What is the final question posed to the audience?

• What are you going to bounce today?

• What will you cook today?

• What will you build today?

• What will you paint today?
