Weeks 12-14

These weeks will wrap up the engineering and energy unit.  Students will create a spreadsheet to calculate how much string to add to their bungee jumper, present their results and test them.  They will take a major test on the last day.

Goals:

  1. Define model and calculate Elastic Potential Energy
  2. Determine the necessary amount of added string for the bungee jump by applying ideas of Ek, Eg, Ee and conservation of energy.
  3. Build a spreadsheet to perform calculations
  4. Explain your reasoning about the bungee jump persuasively
Binder Contents:

  • Energy Vocabulary
  • Practice Quantitative Energy…
  • Claims Evidence Argument about Skydiving
  • Bungee Jump Engineering Project
  • Bungee System Analysis

more to come...

Key dates:  Presentations and Bungee Jumps - December 5 and 6
Test/Binders due - Dec 7 and 10
