Bounce Adventures - A Projectile Motion Game
by David Wirth
The students in this lab activity will play a competitive game with a small bouncy ball. The students will analyze the motion of the ball and apply projectile motion concepts. This activity requires very little equipment and can be completed in a few class periods. This lesson comes at the end of a unit on projectile motion and students should also be familiar with conservation of energy concepts.
