Question 6 • CUSD Integrated Physical Science B (5.0)

Caleb wants to find out which type of floor material is best for bouncing tennis balls the highest. Which statement best describes the process he should use?

Answer
A
He should use technological design because he will need to make materials.
B
He should use scientific investigation because he will need to do an experiment.
C
He should use technological design because he will need to conduct background research.
D
He should use scientific investigation because he will need to design a prototype.

Explanation

Caleb is testing how different floor materials affect how high a tennis ball bounces. He can change the floor material, drop the same ball in a consistent way, and measure the bounce height, which is a scientific investigation. Technological design focuses on creating or improving a product or solution, not simply comparing materials through an experiment.
