🏀 Why does a basketball go boing while a tomato goes splat? Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy to discover the super-stretchy science of bouncing! Find out all about elasticity, how balls store and release energy (like a trampoline!), and why they bounce higher on the floor than on the grass. It's a high-energy adventure! For fun experiments and activities, be sure to sign up for our email list to get useful science materials at orbitalowl.com.
