the flying ball

The flying ball

 

Purpose:

Understanding air pressure

 

Hypothesis/Prediction (What I think will happen )

 

Hayden: The ping pong ball will fall

Pita&Ivan: The ping pong ball would fly.

 

Equipment/Materials

 

Ping pong ball

Hair dryer

 

Method

 

1.Plug in the hair dryer 

2. Put the ping pong in the middle of the hair dryer

3. Watch what happens when you turn on the power at the lowest, middle and then highest settings..

 

Discussion

 

Hayden: I was surprised with the outcome. The ping pong ball stayed floating in the air. 

Ivan: The ping pong ball stayed in the air unless the air pressure was blocked, e.g. with a hand.

Pita: When we put it on the highest setting the ping pong ball was sent higher and it was harder to balance the ball and stop it from falling.

 

Conclusion

 

Hayden: My Hypothesis was wrong but because it was wrong it ended up being more fun. I guess because the air came out at a certain speed and that kept it up in the air. At a higher setting it probably sent the ball higher and out of the range of the hair drier and so its harder to balance.

Ivan: It probably stayed up because of the constant stream of air, forcing the ball to stay up, like the ball was trying to get away from the wind. The faster an object like a person or a car moves, the harder it is to balance and not fall. 

Pita: The higher setting was going too fast for the ball to be controlled.

Have you ever seen summer?

Remember that time when you were eating ice cream and you saw the ice cream slowly start melting in your hand? Remember that time when the sun shined bright in the sky making you yell out loud because the sun shined in your eyes.

That was summer.

 

Have you ever heard summer? 

Sure you have! 

Remember that time when you were listening to music 

When suddenly you hear your sisters annoying voice screaming your name to get her laptop from the room? Remember that time, when your friend started screaming on the mic because you beat him in a video game.

That was summer.

 

Have you ever touched summer? 

Sure you have! 

Remember that time when you grabbed the hose to water the plants on a hot summer evening? Remember that time when you grabbed your ps4 controller pressing every button on the controller trying to stay alive while playing games?

That was summer.

 

Have you ever Tasted summer? 

Sure you have! 

Remember that time when you were eating some delicious, yummy ice cream. Remember the taste of the ice cream? Creamy and sweet and melting in your mouth? 

That was summer.
