Rebounding

Tape paper to the wall so an area about

200 cm high and 40 cm wide is
covered.
Using your measuring device and a
pencil mark every centimeter and label
every 5th centimeter of your paper,
from the floor up, until you have
reached the top of the covered wall
area.
Be careful if standing on a chair.
One person drops the ball.
Another person watches to see how
high the ball bounces. (The ball will not
bounce higher than the drop height.)
The third person writes the
measurements.
People can change jobs after one
height is tested.
The ball dropper holds the ball with its
lowest part at the 30-cm mark.
Drop, letting go without adding force, the
ball.
The ball watcher looks to see how high the
bottom of the ball goes when it bounces up.
Repeat so that you have 3 measurements,
then use another height.
Be careful if standing on a chair.
