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.

Science

What happened

the fire went out and the water went up 

 

    Equipment
