This site explains the factors that determine whether and how much a ball bounces and includes activities to test "bounciness" for yourself!

Many sports use a ball in some way or another. We throw them, dribble them, hit them, kick them, and they always bounce back. What makes a ball so bouncy? In this experiment you can investigate the effect of air pressure on ball bouncing.

What happens when a ball bounces? Learn about liquid nitrogen as Bill Nye the Science Guy demonstrates what happens to everyday materials when placed in it. [0:22]

In this activity, students will graph the height of a ball versus time after it is dropped from some height. They will then examine one ball bounce and investigate the parameters that effect the shape of the graph. They will also explore...

Many of today's popular sports are based around the use of a ball, yet none are completely alike. In fact they are all designed with specific characteristics in mind. Students will investigate different balls' abilities to bounce and...

In this activity, students will explore the position of a ball versus time for a single bounce. They will also examine the relationship between the height of the ball and its velocity.

In this activity, students will explore the rebound height of a ball and develop a function that will model the rebound heights for a particular bounce. The model can then be used to predict the height of the ball for any bounce.

In this activity, students will explore the rebound heights of a ball and develop a sequence that will predict the rebound height of subsequent bounces. They will also find the total distance that the ball travels.

This activity is designed for students to use real-time data to generate a family of parabolic graphs. The data set will be generated by graphing the heights of a ball bounce with respect to time. Students will determine the regression...

For this activity, students measure the velocity of a bouncing ball on its way up using a direct measurement video with an embedded frame counter. After solving the problem, they present their solution to classmates.

In this game, students choose the sentence in the set that correctly capitalizes each proper noun. When the students answer the problem correctly, they get to play a ball blast game.
