  1. Barbie Bungee Jump Question: How many rubber bands will it take for Barbie to safely Bungee off of the stairwell balcony?

  2. You know what Bungee jumping is, right?

  3. STEP #1 • Everyone needs to have a job. What is yours? • Dropper • Eyeballer (2) • Recorder

  4. STEP #2 • The recorder needs to get all supplies: • 1 Barbie • Graphing calculator • Yard Stick • Masking Tape • 15-20 rubber bands

  5. STEP #3Using two rubber bands, tie a noose using a slip knot.

  6. STEP #4Then wrap one end repeatedly around Barbie's ankles. Be sure the rubber band is on tight enough not to fall off when she is being dropped.

  7. STEP #5 • Use your tape to attach the yard stick to the wall – vertically. • The top of the yard stick will be Barbie’s jumping point.

  8. STEP #6 • Attach another rubber band to the first one, again using a slip knot.

  9. STEP #7 • With two rubber bands now attached, hold the end of the rubber bands at the jump line. • With one hand, the dropper will drop Barbie from the line with the other hand. • The spotters will determine the lowest point Barbie reached. • After the spotters agree on the measurement, the recorder writes down the data.

  10. STEP #8 • Measure the distance in centimeters and record in the data collection packet. • Drop Barbie two more times, and then average the distances of the three total drops. • Averaging ensures accuracy – Barbie’s life depends on it!

  11. STEP #9 • Repeatedly attach another rubber band for each set of three jumps, and record your data in the data collection packet.

  12. STEP #10 • Complete the rest of the data collection packet. • Work closely with your group to make accurate predictions. • You will be notified when we are ready to drop Barbie from the stairwell balcony.
