Abstract
The bounce of a ball is a good topic for investigation at either GCSE or A-level. At King's School Canterbury pupils have experimented with both squash balls and inflatable play balls, varying the drop height, pressure and temperature and measuring the effect on bounce height, contact area and contact time. Worthwhile predictions can be made from quite simple theory and the experimental results provide ample opportunities for discussion and evaluation.
