PocketLab Experiment of the Month: The NGSS Seismic Basketball Challenge

In this lab activity, students place a PocketLab Voyager on the floor and drop a basketball from above their heads. PocketLab Voyager's accelerometer records the seismic waves from each bounce. Based on the collected data, students are challenged to find the original height from which the basketball was released. 

Bonus Challenge: Lab groups can swap data and try to determine the release point of the other groups' basketball
