A Dropper Popper is more than just half of a rubber ball. This incredible device seemingly defies the laws of physics by bouncing higher than where you dropped it! It requires a small amount of activation energy to work. It is molded into a very special shape that allows it to store elastic potential energy and then converted to kinetic energy with a POP when dropped from a low height. Great demonstration for forces and motion and your unit on energy. Available at teachersource.com/product/dropper-popper/energy
