Super Ball

Imagine a ball that’s super bouncy! That’s a Super Ball! It’s a toy made from a special kind of rubber that was invented a long, long time ago, in 1964. This rubber is so bouncy that when you drop it, it can bounce almost all the way back up to where you dropped it from. It’s like magic for your hands!

A clever scientist named Norman Stingley invented the Super Ball. He was working with a new material that was super stretchy and springy. He mixed it all up, heated it, and squeezed it really hard. When he was done, he had created a ball that was much bouncier than any ball anyone had ever seen before!

The Super Ball is made of a special material called Zectron. This material has a secret ingredient that makes it super elastic, which means it can stretch and snap back really fast. When you throw a Super Ball down hard, it squishes a little, and then it springs back with lots of energy, sending it flying super high!

These balls are so bouncy, they have amazing superpowers! If you drop a Super Ball from your shoulder, it might bounce all the way back up to your shoulder. If an adult throws it down really hard, it can bounce so high it could go over a three-story building! That’s taller than a giraffe!
