Title: Having Fun With Hair Dryers

 

Purpose:

The purpose is to understand the air pressure.

 

Hypothesis/Prediction (What I think will happen and why?)

 

M: I think that the ball will fall off every time you tilt or move the hair dryer. K: I think that the ball will lose balance (fall off) at times. J: I think that the ball will float higher and higher.

 

Equipment/Materials

 

Hair dryer   –  Ping pong ball

 

Method

 

First you want to plug in your hair dryer and turn it on.  Secondly you want to place the ball on top of the hair dryer. Next you just want to turn it on and see what will happen. Then check your prediction and see what really happened

 

Discussion

 

K: The ball did fall off because we couldn’t keep the hair drier still. So the air coming out of the hair drier was moving in a different direction.

 

Conclusion

K: To keep the ball up in the air, the hair drier must be kept in one place.

Glass and Candle Experiment

My prediction is that the flame will just blow out

Equipment you will need:

• Glass Cup   – Glass Plate   – Candle 
• Matches   –  Warm Water / Color Dye

Method:

• First you want to grab all of the equipment you need: Cup, Plate, Candle, Matches, Warm water and Color dye.

• Secondly you want to grab the plate and the candle, what you want to do with that is to light the bottom of the candle so it sticks to the middle of the plate.

• When that’s done you want to put warm water or dye on to the plate.

• Next you want to use the matches to light up the candle.

• Genuinely put the glass cup over the lighted candle.

• Then see your prediction and see if you were right.
