    This document outlines an experiment to investigate how changing the mass of falling objects affects their speed by measuring the time it takes different numbers of bun cases to fall from a fixed height. The method describes using a meter stick to measure the height and a stopwatch to time the falls, keeping the height constant while varying the number of bun cases to isolate mass as the variable. It predicts that increasing the number of bun cases will decrease the speed based on the idea that greater mass would experience more air resistance. A results table would record the number of bun cases, distance fallen, time taken, and calculated speed for each trial.

    What affects the way objects fall?

    (The bun cases investigation)

    Aim
    To investigate the effect of changing mass of falling bun cases

    you need to write about the following:

    Method
    What apparatus do you need?
    What did you do?
    What did you measure?
    How did you keep it a fair test?
    (what did you keep the same? height/number of bun
    cases/size)
    How did you work out the speed?

    Prediction
    Make a prediction about the results,

    E.g. I think that adding more bun cases will …… the speed.

    If you can try to explain why you think this.

    Results
    Draw a neat and clear results table:
    The number of Distance Time Speed
    bun (height ( (m/s)
    cases ) s
    (metres) e
    c
    o
    n
    d
    s
    )

    Graph

    Speed

    Number of bun cases

    Conclusion
    What happened:
    e.g. When I added more bun cases the speed …… .
    I know this because … . (mention the results and graph)
    Evaluation
    Did this experiment work well?
    What did you find difficult?
    Was it accurate?
    What affects the way objects fall?
    (The bun cases investigation)

    How could you make it better?
