Purpose

Our experiment is finding out how high a basketball bounces due to the pressure in the ball.  Our hypothesis is that the basketball with the most pressure will bounce the highest.  We got the idea because we all like sports, and we were searching for topics related to sports.  When we saw the basketball experiment it looked good very interesting and we followed through with it.  There have identified three main factors that affect the bounce of a ball.  They are air pressure, force and gravity.
