Rebound

Rebound is how high or fast something bounces back after hitting a hard surface.

Think of it this way

A rubber ball dropped on a tile floor shows rebound well. It hits the floor and squishes flat for a split second. Then it springs back to its round shape and pushes off the floor. A bouncier ball stores more energy and shoots back up higher.

Explaining rebound by grade level

Drop a drumstick on the floor. It bounces back up. That bounce is a rebound. Hard sticks bounce higher than soft ones.
