Investigating Whether the Size of Cones Affects their Time to Fall from a Height
Safety: I will need to make sure when making and dropping cones that
all precautions are considered, e.g. careful use of compass, scissors,
etc.
Fair test: I will ensure the height remains the same and that I use
the same cones throughout.
Equipment/Apparatus
===================
To do this practical I will need the following items:
Ø A4 Paper - to make cones
Ø Pencil - to draw circle and record data
Ø Compass - to draw circle
Ø Scissors - to cut circle out
Ø Sellotape - to stick cones
Ø Stop clock - to measure time
Ø Metre ruler - to measure height
Ø Calculator - to calculate averages
Method - Preliminary
====================
* I will use pencil and compass to draw 2 circles on sheets of A4
paper
* I will use scissors to cut the circles out
* I will make 2 cones of similar size but not identical
* I will use sellotape to stick the cones down
* I will use metre ruler to measure 1 metre
* I will use stop clock to measure the time taken for each cone to
