Harry Bounces Back
Harry dreads spending the afternoon with his obnoxious cousin Harley, whose aggression on the racquetball court leaves Harry cowering in the corner. The tables turn when they move to a billiards hall for a game of 8-ball. Remembering something he noticed in the racquetball court - that the angle into a bounce equals the angle out - Harry figures out how to bounce the cue ball off the rail to sink the 8-ball and win the game.
Math message: Balls that bounce all follow a simple rule - "angle in equals angle out"-- that you can master to make balls go just where you want, bounce after bounce.
