Students explore the concept of gravity. In this gravity lesson, students drop super balls from varying heights. Students record the height of the super ball on bounce zero and bounce one.

Students participate in a group juggling game in which they use skills such as coordination, concentration, and team work to pass a series of tennis balls around in an established pattern. During reflection, the class discusses how this...

Students practice a modified version of paddle tennis. They set up the court and review the elements of the game. Students practice serving and returnig the ball. They practice keeping score.

Students experiment with varied balls to determine the bounce factor in centimeters. In this physics lesson, students experiment to find the height a ball must be dropped from the have the highest bounce rate. Students graph the results...

Students practicewith a racket, to learn strategies for moving the ball around the court and the importance of placing the ball in different spots .

Students, who are talented and gifted, create tower structure according to the given specifications that is able to support a tennis ball for 75 seconds but costs the least to build. They each design a tower in their journal but work in...

Students explore solar eclipses by participating in a number of hands-on activities. In class, students work in teams using tennis balls, grapes and flashlights to model partial and total solar eclipses.

Students examine the strength and resilience of the human heart. They squeeze a tennis ball to demonstrate the strength of the human heart, record and analyze the results on a worksheet, and create a poster of a design of a device to...

Students participate in an experiment to understand how robotic systems can estimate distances.  For this robotic ranger lesson, students measure the the time it takes for and object to move back and forth.  Students will use a...

Students identify if their peers are using the correct cues when performing the forehand ground stroke in tennis. They get in groups of 3. One person be the observer; one be the tosser.

Students explore the concept of motion. In this hands-on physics lesson, students examine how the construction of baseballs and the temperature they are stored at affect their bounce.

Pupils explore the Earth's only natural sattelite, the moon. They view a demonstration using tennis balls of the waxing crescent moon, waxing gibbous moon and a lunar eclipse.

Students use a tennis ball and paper to construct a student-made globe. They sketch in continents and major map features and then compare a flat map to a globe.

Young scholars explore the rebound of balls. In this energy conversion lesson, students explore the physics behind the rebound of various types of sports balls. Through the experimental design process using balloons, young scholars...

Students work together in teams to play a variation of tennis and soccer combined.

Students collect data for a bouncing ball and select one bounce to analyze. They explore the relationship between velocity, position and acceleration. They seek out connections between the graphs and the physical motion of the ball.

Tenth graders participate in a warm-up activity. They practice the proper way to grip a tennis racquet. They investigate the forehand ground stroke including the hand, arm and follow through motions. They complete the session by playing...

Third graders compare the bouncing height of different types of balls. In this science instructional activity, 3rd graders explain the importance of repeated experimentation in science. They record their result and share them with the...

Learners draw continents and oceans on a handmade globe and transfer their globe onto a flat map. In this maps lesson plan, students use paper and a tennis ball to make their globes.

Learners explore quadratic equations in this Algebra II instructional activity. They investigate families of quadratic functions by graphing the parent function and family members on the same graph. Additionally, they write the equation...

Round-up as many soccer balls for your team as possible. Hula-Hoops are scattered about equal distance from the center spot. The older the players, the farther away the Hula-Hoops should be from the center spot. There should be enough...

Take a look at this game! It sounds like so much fun. Players throw soft balls at a large ball that is suspended on a rope between two basketball hoops. The goal is to throw the smaller soft balls at and hit the larger ball to propel it...

Fourth graders explore ordering whole numbers through the millions place through a P.E. game on the playground. In small groups they form numbers while standing in hula hoops, telling the teacher what number was made by the combination...

Students practice identifying the five senses using such things as a fluff ball, train whistle, tennis ball, package of potpourri, lollipop
