Day 7 clip 1: Exploring Distance From Bridge as a Function of Time

Dr. Thompson then agrees to teach the lesson on Day 7 in which he revisits the bungee jumping task, but changes the quantity on the vertical axis from distance from the ground to distance from the bridge

Day 7 clip 2: Exploring Distance From Bridge as a Function of Time

In the clip shown here, Ms. Coombs works one-on-one with a student who is trying to use the finger tool to show the relationship of the bungee jumper's distance from the bridge as a function of time. What you see here is two minutes of a nine-minute exchange where Ms. Coombs encourages the student to think about relative changes. This exchange occurs as Dr. Thompson is working with the rest of the class.

Day 7 - Clip 1
Exploring Distance From Bridge as a Function of Time

Dr. Thompson then agrees to teach the lesson on Day 7 in which he revisits the bungee jumping task, but changes the quantity on the vertical axis from distance from the ground to distance from the bridge. The horizontal axis remains the jumper’s elapsed time from the the beginning of his jump. In this context, students must co-vary the quantities’ values instead of just envisioning the path of the jumper.
