We made it to Summer Break…got any plans?
Barbie Bungee List 2 thoughts? List 3 observations about the diving apparatus?
Predict how many rubber bands are necessary in order for Barbie to enjoy the full thrill of a 4m jump Write a hypothesis that includes your prediction. Locate the materials for your test.
Restate & Rewrite your questions from #3 Push your Barbie a few times to get the hang of the fall. Create a data table to record your data.
Drop your doll three times using 2 rubber bands and record drop distance. Repeat with #9 with 6 & 10 rubber bands (do not count initial anchor band). Calculate the average drop distance for each rubber band increment (2, 6, & 10 bands) distance and record these values in your data table.
Restate & Rewrite your questions from #3 Using average drop distance, construct a graph to display your data. Create a line of best fit on graph (Rules on table). Using the graph find the value for the number of bands required for a safe, yet thrilling 4m drop. Share your results
Are there other ways to determine the number of bands? Please accept or reject your hypothesis in #4. If rejected please indicate an adjusted value for # of rubber bands.
You said it…I confirmed !!! Extrapolation finding a value that lies on the smooth curve or line beyond the actual plotted points Interpolation finding a value that lies on the smooth curve or line between two actual data points
Barbie Doll Bungee Back Pages Use reasoning, the graph, and equation to respond to unique Barbie scenarios
Wait, no test? How’d I know what progress you were making throughout the lesson?
