A Bouncing Ball

WHY?

When an object collides with another object or obstacle several things happen. In Newton's Second Law of Motion there is a description of the force, motion, slowing of the motion, and stopping. Children love to experience motion and with the bouncing of a ball they can see how Newton's Law is in action.
