Bouncy Ball Explore Blog

Hello everyone! We made our own bouncy balls out of glue and borox. We learned that the less amount of glue used, the higher the ball will bounce. Of course my partner and I learned that from experience. As you can see in the picture below, we used way to much glue! In this experiment, the glue was the independent variable and the borox was the dependent variable since the glue was being hardened by the borox. It would be slightly difficult for someone to duplicate the exact size and weight of the bouncy ball I created because I forgot to write how much of each material I used! Oops! Anyways, trial and error is science because without it, it would be difficult to prove if something is true or false without testing your theory.
