So I have to pick a springy object to look at or observe and do a report on. I half want to get a trampoline but... yeah.

So any hints on something bouncy that has oscillations?

Maybe a spring board? You could go down to a local gym and look at the mechanism in that. Or perhaps a diving board? Would that come under springy? And there's always bouncy castles though I don't know where you'd get one of those...

Trampoline! Definitely.

Other springy items... beds! If you have an old mattress, and it had springs... er.. yeah.

Some people are hourglass shaped, some people are apple shaped, some people are pear shaped, some people are even bean pole shaped, but if we’re not careful we all become banana shaped. This is your gentle posture reminder.
