Spheros
Bouncy Balls

Type up your good copy.

The following parts should be included in your report:

The purpose of the lab - 1

Your observations (data tables, descriptive notes). Make sure you use units and clearly label your tables and charts - 1

Your analysis (graphs and/or calculations). Use excel or word to generate your line graphs and insert them into your lab. You can write in calculations that are difficult to type - 1

The answers to the discussion questions. Either write the question and point form answer or write full sentence answers. Make sure your thoroughly answer each question explaining your reasoning - 1

A conclusion describing patterns/trends you noticed in your observations. Did you satisfy the purpose of the lab? What did you learn? Why was this lab important? - 1
