1. Use a 2.25 litre diet coke. 2. Put four peppermint mentos in a paper funnel with a piece of cardboard under tube and then put the ping pong ball on top. 3. When ready to go pull the piece of cardboard out and watch what happens 4. Watch how the the ping pong goes up in the air and measure it against a measuring tape, record the result.
 * **When Creating a Science Display Think about the Following**
 * Use the Science Fair Booklet to help you with information that needs to be collected under each of the heading below.** ||
 * Introduction || I chose this topic because I wanted to know the best way to get a ping pong ball into the air using 3 different ways. Air pressure, Fizzy and mentos and putting it over a hairdryer to see how high it goes. ||
 * Aim || Aim : To see which the best way to get a ping pong ball up into the air using 3 different ways. I will use air pressure fizzy and mentos and then put the ping pong ball on top and see how high it goes up in the air. I am looking forward to testing this to see what way is best to get something in the air. ||
 * Hypothesis || Hypothesis : What I think is going to happen is the ping pong ball is going to go 1m in the air with air pressure (bike Pump). It will go 95cm-1m10cm with the fizzy drink (Diet Coke ) and a mentos. Then it will go up in the air 50-85cm hair dryer ||
 * Experiment || Goal : To find out the best way to get a ping pong ball in the **Air** ||
 * Materials || Ping pong ball, Plastic Bottle (empty) Fizzy mentos hair dryer straw ||
 * Method || Mentos in coke.

Blowing air through a straw onto the ping pong ball 1. Put the straw in your mouth 2. Take the deepest breath you can and get someone to hold the ping pong ball above the straw. 3. Before you put a ping pong ball start to blow as hard as you can and see how high the ping pong ball goes. 4. See how high the ping pong ball goes up in the air and record your results

Hair dryer and ping pong ball 1. Plug the hair dryer into the power socket 2. Turn on the hair dryer at the slowest blow it can go 3. Put the ping pong ball onto the hair dryer then turn it up to the next speed and see how high it goes - note the more powerful the hair dryer is the higher it will go. 4. Keep the ping pong ball on the hair dryer as long as you can and test it about 3 or 4 times to see if you can get higher. 5. Record how high it goes and write down the result you get || Coke and mentos did not work at all all it did was fizz up and didn't move. We tried lots of different things to try and make it go up in the air. We tried biting the mentos in half and putting in to see if you got a different reaction because we thought it would because the sugar would make it faster to react and it would fly up. We also tried just shaking the bottle up with the ping pong ball on top of it and see what would happen to it. ||

Statement: What are the different ways to get a ping pong ball in the air????

My Hypothesis was incorrect because the ping pong ball didn't go up in the air at all. I thought it would go up in the air 95cm but in the end it didn't go up in the air at all.

Explanation: After putting the Mentos and shaking up the bottle of Coke the reaction of the test was it just let fizzy and fizzed up the bottle. When you put in a whole mentos it doesn't really fizz up but when you bite the mentos into 4 bits it fizzes up more. The other way to get a reaction is to just put a ping pong ball and a bottle of coke and then hold the ping pong ball on top of the bottle and shake it and see what happens. When that happened it fizzed out of bottle and the ping pong ball fell off the top of it. 1-2m ruler needed.

Explanation Hair Dryer

My hypothesis was sort of right becausethe ping pong ball did go in the air but not as high as I predicted it to be, it went up in the air 18 center meters on full power and we tried to make 2 ping pong balls and it worked for about 5 seconds. When we put something under the ping pong ball the ball went higher. I will have to research how come it went higher when something was under the ping pong ball. When we put it on low power it didn't go as high as when it was on full power. This happens because the air pressure in lower of the ball and it can't go as high. 30cm ruler needed.

Explanation - Straw/ Ping pong ball

When you blow into the straw you have to wait for someone to drop the ping pong ball while you are hardest you can to make the ping pong ball go up in the air. The ping pong ball went 22cm up in the air when I was blowing my hardest. The best straws to have the ones that you can bend so it is easier to blow and get the ping pong ball in the air. The ball only went 22cm when you start blowing on the straw before the ping pong ball comes onto the air. When you only start blowing onto the ping pong ball when the ball is dropped onto the straw it will only go max 18cm in the air. To measure this you have to have at least a 30cm ruler.
