Students created graphs and equations for the data they collected and used the equations to make predictions concerning safety. These predictions included things like maximum weight limits and how high to put the bungee platform from the ground.

Bungee Jump Safety
One the group tasks in class this unit involved students working as a group safety commission to determine the safety of bungee jump rides at local theme parks. For this activity, students created a mini-bungee apparatus and collected data on weight (x) and cord stretch(y).
Students created graphs and equations for the data they collected and used the equations to make predictions concerning safety. These predictions included things like maximum weight limits and how high to put the bungee platform from the ground.
