Aim:
To see how high the ball bounces in relation to how high the ball is dropped.
Hypothesis:
The higher the ball is dropped, the higher it bounces.
Method:
Drop the ball in a certain height then measure the height of the bounce, repeat this process at least 3 times and collect the data. Compare the data and calculate the average.
Independet Variable: Height dropped.
Dependent Variable: Height measured.
Control Variavble: Height bounced.

Conclusion:
It was pretty obvious that the higher you drop the ball, the higher it bounces. So, why did we do this anyway? To practice making graphs.
