Barbie Bungee In this activity, you will simulate a bungee jump using a Barbie doll and rubber bands. Before you conduct the experiment, formulate a hypothesis: I believe that _________ is the maximum number of rubber bands that will allow Barbie to safely jump from a height of 510 cm. Now, conduct the experiment to test your hypothesis.
Group. Barbie Bungee Scenario Barbie wants to go bungee jumping. To experience the greatest thrill she tells the operator that she wants to get as close to the ground as possible for her jump.
As the Bungee Cord operator you only get one chance to get Barbie's thrill jump correct. Barbie Bungee - Free download as PDF File (.pdf), Text File (.txt) or read online for free. The document outlines a middle school science activity where students conduct a bungee jumping experiment using Barbie dolls to explore the relationship between the number of rubber bands and jump height.
Students will gather data, graph it, and create a linear equation to make predictions about safe. In this activity, you will simulate a bungee jump using a Barbie® doll and rubber bands. Before you conduct the experiment, formulate a conjecture.
Purpose You are going to create a bungee line for Barbie that will give her the most thrilling, yet SAFE, fall from a height of _____ meters. Use your diagram of the bungee jump to help support where your numbers for your calculations came from. (Be sure to show the slow mo video during this portion when you mention how you got Barbie's height off of the ground when the bungee was fully stretched.) Keep your screencast to less than 5 minutes.
Measure Barbie's height without rubber bands. Record this amount next to the zero rubber bands in the data chart on back side of this paper. Next, drop her with one rubber band attached to her ankles.
Hold the band tight at the top of the yardstick, and simply let Barbie drop from the head-down position. She won't swing; she will just lightly. In this lesson, students model a bungee jump using a Barbie® doll and rubber bands.
The distance to which the doll will fall is directly proportional to the number of rubber bands, so this context is used to examine linear functions. The document describes a bungee jumping experiment using Barbie dolls and rubber bands. Students measured the height reached by Barbie's head using different numbers of rubber bands.
They recorded this data in a table, plotted a scatterplot, drew a line of best fit, and found the linear regression equation. Based on their line of best fit and regression equations, students predicted how many.
