Ball Bounce Challenge

The question… How does the height from which a ball is dropped affect its rebound height? You will have 30 minutes to gather data to answer the question. Available Materials: Meter stick(s) Ball Tape Other materials may be available upon request

The challenge… Tomorrow I will specify a height. You will have ONE opportunity to drop a ball such that it rebounds to exactly this height (no higher, no lower). You may gather whatever data you feel is important to successfully complete this challenge. You may gather as much, or as little, data as you feel is necessary. You must present your data in a table and a graph. On your graph, explain the relationship between drop height and rebound height (in one sentence). To be handed in.

Ready, Set, GO! Stopwatch

About Your Graph… What elements are important to include in a graph? Modified 4 corners activity examining sample graphs.

Drop Day… You have 10 minutes to take measurements at the drop zone and determine your optimum drop height. Show how you came up with your answer. Good luck!
