- Suppose you drop your SuperBall® from 1 meter.
- Use your graph to predict the bounce height. D = 1 m, predicted B = ?
- Did you use interpolation or extrapolation to find your answer?
- Check your prediction by dropping the SuperBall® from 1 m. What is the actual bounce height? D = 1 m, actual B = ?
- Is your prediction close to the actual bounce height?
- Suppose you want your SuperBall® to bounce exactly 2 m. From what height should you drop the ball? Explain how you found your answer.
- Compare the graph for the tennis ball with the graph for the SuperBall®. How are they alike? How are they different?
- You find a strange ball on the playground. Because you have been investigating bouncing balls, you drop the ball from a height of 50 cm. It bounces back to a height of 18 cm. Is it more like the tennis ball or the SuperBall® that you tested? How did you find your answer?
- Maya brings in a ball which is not as bouncy as a tennis ball. Is the line for Maya’ s ball Line X or Line Y? Explain.
