Dropping the Ball

We tried out our ball dropping investigations today. Each team got a tennis ball and a meter stick. They gathered their data and some of them even analyzed their results. We measured how high the ball would bounce after being dropped from a set height. We also measured how high it would bounce for each consecutive bounce until it stopped bouncing. We counted the number of bounces when dropped from different heights. Each group then shared their processes and results and compared how they took their notes and designed their investigations.
