View experiment

Method
Paul launches a bouncy ball vertically as high as he can throw, with a slight angle so it lands in a space close to the plinth in Trafalgar Square. Someone counts how many bounces - ?would video capture be required to count in slow motion if the bounces become too close together for a human to count

Result type: The number of bounces a bouncy ball will have before someone catches it or it rests on the ground.

Estimated minutes taken: 1

Possible during bad weather: yes

Blimey, that is a weird coincidence. I reckon the number of bounces is actually a more interesting experiment than mine and I only have one bouncy ball, so unless mine gets more votes I think I'll go with yours!
