Alley Cat Bowling Lab Report

NGSS 4-PS3-1 Use evidence to construct an explanation relating the speed of an object to the energy of the object.

Hypothesis- If i hit the baseball with a wooden bat, then the ball will strike farther than getting hit with one of the other two bats, I believe this due to the fact that mlb players use wooden bats.

A smooth wooden and metal club is called a baseball bat. In a game of baseball, the bat hits the ball after it is thrown by the pitcher from the opposite team. A baseball bat’s diameter must be close 2.75 inches at the thickest part and the length needs to be somewhere around 42 inches.

Students will use their results to connect the concepts from the lab to the real world. In the extension activity worksheet students are asked to determine where the energy of the pendulum bob come from. Students will gather information from the lecture and use strategic thinking and reasoning to explain how energy is used to move the pendulum and where the energy is from. This level of thinking will help students make real word connections because students can extend their thinking by also considering how other objects that they use on a daily basis use kinetic and potential energy.

One recreational activity that I do not enjoy and try to avoid is bowling. I absolutely love sports, but certain things about bowling keep me from having a good time. It seems that no matter how hard I try I can never find a ball that fits my hands. Most of the times my fingers will get stuck in the hole upon release and I am left there with a blank look on my face as the ball comes crashing down forcefully on the lane making a huge crashing sound, thankfully I have yet to crack open a lane. If I find one big enough for my fingers to fit into to it feels like I can barely hold onto the ball and I end up usually throwing a gutter ball. Needless to say, my scores are usually quite low which does play a role in why I dislike it so much. Personally

There is energy all around us. We have energy in our everyday lives but we normally don’t think about the energy being used. For example, a cup on a table, this is potential energy. It is not moving and it is completely still on the table. When you're driving in your car you are using kinetic energy. In this experience we are using potential, kinetic, and gravitational potential energy. We are using these forms of energy, math, and science to test how fast an object will roll down a ramp.

In the experiment we had to launch two items and in the experiment we used energy. Mostly kinetic energy but still potenital. When launching the object on the catapult we used kintic energy. When pulling the arm of the catapult we used elastic potential energy becuase

In the Bouncy Ball Lab, my team conducted two experiment that looked at how rebound height was affected by different independent factors. In the first experiment, we chose six different starting heights and measured the rebound height in order to calculate how bouncy our given ball was, also called the rebound ratio. We then graphed our data and found an equation to model the relationship between starting height and rebound height. In the second experiment, we allowed our bouncy ball to continue bouncing after an initial height of 200cm. Again, we graphed the rebound height as the dependant variable on the y-axis, but our independent variable was the number of times the ball had bounced. we also found an equation to model this relationship.

A new kitten can be a wonderful addition to your family, but it is an unfortunate fact that many people have never owned a kitten before. This can cause them to be unsure of what is needed to provide for these animals. By understanding the benefits of these tips, you can help ensure that your kitten grows into a well-adjusted adult cat.

This study was done by Walker et al to find out what the role of a cat’s tail regarding its balance. The Scientist used four different adult cats. All of the cats walked a runway and two of the cat jumped up and down from a table. To better see how the tails reacted, the scientist shaved all of the cat’s tails every week. The scientist had the cats walk the bride and would randomly move the runway left and right after the cat passed the half way point. The scientist chose random trails to move the runway because they did want the cats to find a pattern and adjust their balance. The scientist measured how long it took the cats to go the full distance and from the recordings, they measured how much the tail bent in response to the movement of

There are many forms of energy. The types of energy that can affect the toy car are potential energy, kinetic energy, and work of friction. Potential is the energy of an object due to its position. Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion. Friction plays a part because it shows how much energy is needed for the car to move. All these energies are intertwined in the toy car.

Planning & Conducting Scientific Experiment Introduction It is important to have 100% efficiency in the work we do, but there is a small amount of energy wasted to the surroundings like heat or light. Therefore energy transfers cannot be 100% efficient as stated above. In this experiment I will test the relationship between the drop height and the bounce height of different balls, which was dropped on smooth board and carpet. The balls that I choose were tennis ball, ping pong ball and a squash ball.

We think that the height will change because the type of ground used could modify the outcome of the experiment. To measure the bounce of the ball we used a three feet measuring stick. The results will be measured in inches.

The materials used in this lab were an air track, a beam balance, a car, a meter stick, a meter stick, pulley system, and weights. In the first portion of the lab, we measured the potential energy. My group and I did this by measuring the height (100 cm) from the ground to the pulley and multiplied that by the mass of the. After gathering the results for the potential energy which was surprisingly easy to do, we moved on to the second portion of the lab, assembling data for the kinetic energy. We started by weighing the car, which came out
