Why Do Balls Bounce?
by Rob Moore

Balls bounce because a ball's fall produces a force against the ground and because the earth is so much bigger, the ball is dented when it hits the ground.  When it's dented, the dent tries to push the ball back into shape.  The ball will return to it's shape, then gravity will cancel the ball's bounce.  Then the ball will come down again.  Therefore that's what causes the ball to bounce.

  1. Nice job, Danesha. I noticed that the cover also says "All About Gravity", did you learn anything else from this book? Did you enjoy this book?
