The physics in a trampoline are pretty cool I think. You have to bring up Newton's third law that says the an action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is applied as soon as you walk onto a trampoline and you can feel yourself bounce a little. What is happening is that the place that you jump on is stretched taunt and as soon as you step down, you transfer force onto the trampoline. The trampoline then, with its elasticity, flexes down and tries to push back up to its original shape. This pushes the object or person up with the force equal to the one that pushed the trampoline down. This is also the reason that you can jump. What it is, is that the earth is pushing back on your foot instead of the trampoline. This is works on everything from walking to a space ship taking off. It is the reaction that most people realize is happening.
