Title: Air Pressure Experiment |
Purpose:
Attempting to understand air pressure |
Hypothesis/Prediction (What I think will happen and why?)
I think that the air pressure from the hair dryer will make the ball levitate but if you were to move it around the air from the haixr dryer will go everywhere depending on how fast you move it. If you move the hair dryer slowly, the ball could possibly stay in the air, but if moved even a little bit fast the ball will fall. |

Discussion
L . I think that the air pressure from the hair dryer will make the ball levitate but if you were to move it around the air from the hair dryer will go everywhere depending on how fast you move it. If you move the hair dryer slowly, the ball could possibly stay in the air, but if moved even a little bit fast the ball will fall.
S . I had seen the ball floating above the hairdryer and it was fun because when I cranked up the pressure I didn’t expect it to still hover over top, it was also exciting because when I was moving the hair dryer the ball was still over the hairdryer but I thought that it was going to fall off M What happened was when we oned hair drier we had to start off on low heat and then start turning the heat up . |
Conclusion
In the end, my hypothesis was right and the ball floated when it was above the hair dryer which was on. |
