Well, yu could say I was playing with a soccer ball (or what ever ball) one cold day, and the ball didn't bounce as well as in the summer time.

Re: Easy Science Fair Question!!!!
Hello JonnyYan,
The purpose is your reason for doing the experiment. Was it to help basketball players? The data that you get will help someone in someway. For example, it could help athletes who play basketball games in different temperatures, i.e. one game it might be cold, and on another it might be hot, so knowing how this affects how high the ball bounces will determine what the athlete needs to do to. This is just one example, there are many others.
This page- https://www.sciencebuddies.org/science- ... ract.shtml under Introduction also explains what the purpose is. Please let us know what you find out.
Thanks,
Philip
