From the Clay Ball Experiment (Think like a Scientist 1):

Part A: Understanding the Experiment

1. What is the main thing you are trying to find out in this experiment?
o A) How sticky the clay is.
o B) If the clay ball changes shape when dropped.
o C) How many bricks are needed.
o D) The color of the clay.
2. Why do you need to drop the clay ball from different heights?

_____________________________________________________________________

3. What do you need to look at very carefully each time you drop the ball?
o A) The color of the bricks.
o B) The shape of the ball.
o C) The person dropping the ball.
o D) How many clay balls you have.
4. True or False: The experiment asks you to drop the clay ball only once.
5. True or False: Using counting bricks helps you know exactly how high you are
dropping the ball from.

Part B: Predicting and Observing

1. What do you think will happen to the clay ball if you drop it from a very, very low
height?

____________________________________________________________________

2. What do you think will happen to the clay ball if you drop it from a very, very high
height?

____________________________________________________________________
 3. After dropping the ball, what should you do with the clay before dropping it again
from a different height?
o A) Leave it as it is.
o B) Make it into a ball shape again.
o C) Throw it away.
o D) Add more clay to it.

Part C: Data and Patterns (Using a similar table idea)

Imagine you do the experiment and write down how many bricks you drop the ball from, and
then draw a picture of the clay's shape.

Shape of clay after dropping (draw a picture or

Test Number of bricks
describe)

Test 1 2 bricks

Test 2 5 bricks

Test 3 8 bricks

1. If the table shows "Number of bricks: 2" for Test 1, what does "2 bricks" tell you?
