Simulate the binomial distribution of a Galton board as a ball is dropped into the device. Investigate the probability of the ball going to the right or to the left with each bounce off a peg.

This guided lab is designed to have students investigate the amount of energy lost by a ball when it bounces. This guided activity is meant to be used as a pre-lab for students who will do this lab live. Students will get a certificate...

Venezuela pebble toads have a very unusual defense mechanism, shared with only a few close relatives. They roll themselves up into a ball and bounce down the hill, away from danger. Learn more about the Venezuela pebble toad in this...

Animation drawing lessons for the beginner. There are two lessons: "The Bouncing Ball" and "The Walk Cycle." Both lessons are simplified for the beginner. A great resource!

In this 7-problem quiz/practice, calculate the position of a point using linear interpolation.

Prove that you've successfully animated a bouncing ball.

By taking a look at the energy of motion all around us, students learn about the types of energy and their characteristics. They first learn about the two simplest forms of mechanical energy: kinetic and potential energy, as illustrated...

In this activity, students collect motion data for a bouncing ball using a motion detector. They analyze the data and attempt to find the exponential relationship between the bounce number and maximum height that the bounce reaches.

Try out these experiments you can do with items you might already have around the house: "Two Ball Bounce," "Cartesian Diver," "Straw Flute," "Bernoulli Ball," and others. Two experiments, "Imploding Pop Can" and "Balloon in a Bottle,"...

Expert timing and spacing is what separates a slide show from a truly amazing animation. TED-Ed demonstrates, by manipulating various bouncing balls, how the smallest adjustments from frame to frame can make all the difference. [6:42]

Determine the height of a bouncing ball by creating a quadratic function for each.

The Quincunx is a fascinating probability machine that demonstrates how distribution works. This page has an interactive Quincunx where you can adjust how many rows there are for the balls to bounce down when dropped. A link takes you to...
