I think the reason the tennis ball goes up so much higher is because the basketball is larger and transfers its momentum to the smaller tennis ball which would normally not have that much momentum by itself.
My plan to test this theory is to drop the basketball on top of the tennis ball and see if the basketball will go as high as the tennis ball did when it was on top. I will see how high it goes and determine if the mass and weight affect the height of the bounce.
