Bowling for Atoms Procedures:

A 60 cm figure has been measured off an the floor similar to the diagram below. Obtain between 4 – 8 spheres from the supply table. Measure the diameter of a target sphere. Divide the following work between you and your laboratory partner. One will roll a ‘bullet’ sphere towards the target spheres without looking!!!!! The other partner will count the number of collisions and the number of tries. 100 tries will be adequate. Switch roles after one partner has had 50 attempts. Remember no cheating.

If the sphere hits the sides of the 60 cm mark, it counts as a miss. If the sphere hits one, two or three balls it counts as only one hit. When a hit occurs the counter partner must replace the ‘hit’ sphere in approximately the same location. The release distance is approximately 60 cm.

Once you have completed the 100 attempts, count the number of hits. 7you now can enter your data into the computer and mathematically determine the size of the target spheres.

O = Target sphere X = Bullet sphere
