How I set the ball up is like I tried doing it with cups faced down and put the ball on top.  “I think slower things have more energy,” was my prediction.  When your ball is on a high top like high on the cups, it goes slower, and if it is on a low surface, the ball goes fast.  I tried blowing on the cups with the ball on it, and it moved a lot.  We came to the conclusion that when a ball is going faster, it actually has more energy.
