Activity: Raise Me Up!

This document provides instructions for an activity where students throw a ball vertically in the air and use a stopwatch to time how long it remains in the air. Students are asked to throw the ball as hard as they can and have a classmate record the total time in the air using a stopwatch. They then divide the total time in half to get the time from release to maximum height and record their data. Students are asked two questions - about how the ball's speed is at its maximum height and how its velocity changes as it falls below the release point.
