This lab is designed to have students investigate the amount of energy lost by a ball when it bounces. Students will change the starting height of the ball and see how this affects the amount of energy lost and the percent of the...

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.

The purpose of this task is to introduce students to an exponential decay function in the form f(x) = abx, with a concrete interpretation of the decay factor b. A table shows the rebound height of a basketball for each successive bounce....

In this adventure , students will make a Height-Time plot of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They graph height as a function of time. They identify and understand the vertex form of a quadratic equation that is generated to describe the...

In this activity, students collect data for a bouncing ball using a motion detector. They analyze the data and attempt to find a model for the height of the ball as a function of time.

In this activity, students will create a Height-Time plot for a bouncing ball and use a quadratic equation to describe the ball's motion.

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...

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