Miss Carrie brought some boxes and a really big, black bag. We were going to do an experiment. An experiment is when you see what happens when you try a lot of things. We were going to ask the question Will it bounce?
We tried bouncing pompoms, feathers, blocks, dinosaurs, and bean bags. Everyone held them up high while we counted 1-2-3-DROP! We asked what happened, who had one that bounced, and where did it go? We discovered that feathers floated, dinosaurs and bean bags flopped, and blocks might bounce and roll but only a little bit. These things didn't bounce or didn't bounce very well.
Miss Carrie brought out a big, black bag that was full of balls. Would these bounce? Everyone had a ball. We couldn't throw them in the classroom, but we could drop them and then catch them. Everyone heled up their bowl while we counted 1-2-3-DROP! Did they bounce? Yes, they did! Everyone had multiple tries to drop and catch their ball.
