This activity requires students to gather data to construct a scatter graph. After students have constructed the scatter graph they then have to find the equation of the line of best fit and use that to make a prediction of how many bands are needed for the bungee jump. Calculations will be off which lead to the discussion of interpolation and extrapolation and why maths in the real world does not always match up with theoretical predictions.
The PowerPoint comes with a worksheet that students will use to fill in. I have also attached an egg version. The activity will take at least 2 days. One day to gather their information and the second to test their predictions.
