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.

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.

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.

Students determine the coefficient of restitution (or the elasticity) for super balls. Working in pairs, they drop balls from a meter height and determine how high they bounce. They measure, record and repeat the process to gather data...

Try to make an animation of a bouncing ball by positioning the ball in each frame.

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.

Help Bounce (the bouncing ball) smash words that are not spelled correctly in this interactive learning game.

Through an interactive game, students share spending decisions they've made in the past and start to think about their spending habits in new ways.

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]

As a continuation of the theme of potential and kinetic energy, this lesson introduces the concepts of momentum, elastic and inelastic collisions. Many sports and games, such as baseball and ping-pong, illustrate the ideas of momentum...

Make alterations in the variables of the original ZOOM Daredevil Ball Jump activity by heating or cooling the balls in the experiment. Predict how the balls' bounces will be affected by hot and cold, test the predictions and record the...

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 experiment, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. This activity investigates the values of height, time, and the coefficient A in the quadratic equation, which describes the behavior of...

In this activity, students' will record the motion of a bouncing ball using a motion detector. They will then model a bounce using both the general and vertex forms of the parabola.

In this activity, students will measure the bounce heights of golf balls dropped from a height. They examine the geometric sequence in the successive bounce heights and determine the constant or common ratio and the rate of decay of the...

Many aspects relating to the motion of a bouncing ball can be modelled mathematically. The first stage in modelling the motion is to collect some data. The Calculator Base Laboratory or CBR is a motion detector that can be connected to a...

In this activity, students collect the height versus time data of a bouncing ball using the CBR 2. They find the relationship between the bounce number and the bounce height. They learn to graph scatter plots, calculate the maximum value...
