Day 5 clip 1: Introducing the Bungee Jumper

After the lesson on day four, Ms. Coombs and Dr. Thompson discussed the importance of making sure that the ways of thinking entailed in using finger tool were a part of all conversations.  

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.

Day 5 clip 3: Graphing Jumper's Speed Relative to Number of Seconds since She Jumped

This segment shows Ms. Coombs working with another pair of students as they continue their worksheets.

Day 5 - Clip 3
Graphing Jumper's Speed Relative to Number of Seconds since She Jumped

This clip is also taken from day five. Ms. Coombs continues to monitor students’ activity as they work in pairs. In this particular clip, Ms. Coombs works with Zach and Katie as they struggle on two tasks about the bungee jumper. The first task requires the students to graph distance above the ground as a function of time since the jumper leapt while the second task requires a graph showing speed of the jumper as a function of time since he leapt. Zach’s two graphs appear to be identical. Ms. Coombs directs Zach to focus on the starting vertical magnitude to help him better understand how speed behaves.

While Ms. Coombs is working with pairs of students, Dr. Thompson is attending to other students in the class.
