    The students dropped new and old tennis balls from 172cm to test their bounce height. Their hypothesis that new tennis balls would bounce higher was confirmed. The new balls bounced more consistently around 120cm while the older balls bounced less consistently and lower, with one ball noted as the oldest bouncing the lowest. They concluded new balls are more consistent for training and competing, and suggest improvements like objectively aging balls through wall hits in future experiments.

    Tennis Ball Bounce

    Experiment
    Conducted by: Carlos, Jackson, and Jacob

    Hypothesis
    If we drop a new tennis ball and an old tennis ball from the
    same height, then the new tennis ball will bounce higher.

    Methods
    3 new tennis balls
    3 old tennis balls
    Dropped each ball 3 times
    172cm drop
    Used iPhone to capture
    height

    Conclusion
    This experiment furthered our knowledge by showing us that new

    tennis balls are more consistent. This helped us understand why it is


    important to use new tennis balls when training and competing.
    We would change the old tennis balls to be objectively old instead of
    subjectively. Instead of just picking three balls that looked old, we
    would hit three new balls against a wall 10,000 times each, for
    example.
    We would further explore this subject by seeing how the friction of the
    ball would change over time.
