Yo man, marbles are made of hydrolically compressed floro-marbleala(marble) which , means that if it is travelling at a high velocity and contacts a substance harder than it, it will bounce and deflect at approx. 19% faster speeds but if it hits a softer material or object it will simply hit (possibly break/shatter) and fall to the ground. Hope this helped you understand why marbles bounce. Mr.MacJagier, University of Texas, room 213
