changes in temperature expands the air inside of the basketball causing it to bounce higher. This experiment was decided by observations made while playing the sport basketball. It was observed that when a basketball is left in the sun and made warm‚ the ball bounces higher when dribbled than if left inside. Our assumed result was that an increase in temperature would cause an increase in air pressure causing the bounce of the basketball to increase. The independent variable was the temperature in which
