Part I: AVERAGED BOUNCE DATA 1. Position a meterstick vertically on a flat surface, such as the side of a table or kitchen cabinet. Secure the meterstick with some masking tape. 2. As a team, pick five different heights on the meterstick from which you will drop the ball and record them in Data Table 1. 3. Drop the ball from the predetermined height, and measure the resulting height bounced. Make sure to be consistent with your measurements. (For example if your starting height is measured from the top of the ball, measure the height of bounce at the top of the ball). 4. Make five bounce measurements for each of the height-dropped levels (25 measurements in all). Record data in Data Table 1. 5. Type all the data, except for the average values into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. 6. Calculate the averages using the average function in Excel or Sheets. This is a good way to check your hand calculations. To do this you can type "=Average(" in the cell and then highlight the relevant cells, or: 7. Make a graph of the average height bounced for each level that the ball was dropped. You want to create
