Day 5 - Clip 2
Graphing Distance from Ground Relative to Time
In this segment, students work in pairs to graph
the bungee jumper's distance from the ground
relative to the number of seconds since she
jumped. The activity sheet presents a variety of
scenarios that involve coordinating different
quantities such as distance from the bridge and
elapsed time since the jump. Here we see Ms.
Coombs working with a student to help the
student clarify what quantities should be
represented on each of the two axes of the
graph. In this particular activity, the graph is
the speed of the bungee jumper relative to time
since he leapt.
