A spring shoots one pool ball horizontally while simultaneously dropping another ball vertically. Both balls strike the floor simultaneously. Have a student volunteer catch the projected ball after the first bounce, while you catch the dropped ball.
The best way to load the apparatus is to use (push on) one of the pool balls when compressing the spring.
