You will need a couple different types of balls, a baseball, soccer ball,
tennis ball basketball, etc. Make a small ramp in an open area of the classroom
or outside (weather permitting). Ask the children which ball will go faster down
the ramp. Then let them experiment with the different balls.

Ball Bounce:
Use different sport balls like a tennis ball, basket ball, baseball, kickball,
golf ball, football, etc. Let the children first predict how high they think
each ball might bounce and record their answer. Then bounce the balls and record
the actual height that they bounced. This allows children to make their own
predictions and immediately see the results. Its great fun.
