Algebra in Action
The Pre-Algebra Honors class spent the period sending Barbie bungee jumping. They attached rubber bands to her feet and measured the different distances she fell. After making a hypothesis about how many rubber bands Barbie would need to fall from the balcony without hitting the ground, the girls put their calculations to the test. They created a scatterplot of their data and used the slope of the line to make another prediction on the number of rubber bands. Luckily, the girls made correct calculations and Barbie jumped safely.
