Mr. Hnidei approved of our new idea which is as following:
Having a basketball with its pressure being the independent variable being dropped from a constant height.
Then the ball will bounce and this is the dependent variable.

Experiment 1 - Up Dated idea

Sunday April 8, 2012
After experimenting with the Styrofoam ball,we determined that it was not light enough to jump out of the water we tried the same experiment with a ping pong ball. The results were better but not sufficient enough to continue with it. Therefor we decided to cancel the idea and find a new one in the mean time.

Experiment 1 idea + Brainstorm + trial

The experiment looked as follows:

After experiment we noticed that the ball does not achieve enough velocity to leave the water; It simple bobs over the top.

As can be seen from the following pictures:
