This KS3 resource introduces the investigation process and would fit into a forces topic for Y7. The presentation leads students through the stages of an investigation and introduces terms such as hypothesis, variables and reliability.

Students are asked to design and carry out an experiment to find out the bounciest ball. It requires very simple equipment. It could be used to generate a class discussion to come up with a method and how results could be recorded and presented.
