  1. Bungee Jumpers Beware PROMPT: Bungee jumping, the triumph of Optimism over Intelligence, is a popular sport in Great Falls, Montana. A static cord of fixed length D is attached to an elastic cord of unstretched length L and force constant k. The static chord is attached to the ankles of the jumper who dives head first from a distance H above concrete, water, or dirt. It could be a fatal error to assume that the static chord would simply add a length D to the total extension of the elastic chord at the bottom. For a jumper of mass m, conservation of energy gives the value of the maximum length of the stretched bungee system as, , where g is the acceleration due to gravity (g =9.80 m/s2), and D includes the height of the jumper. Design and conduct an experiment that will determine the minimum height H (= ymax) from which a jumper must jump in order to prevent a fatal accident.

  2. DESIGN (D) Aspect 1: Defining the problem and selecting the variables.

  3. DESIGN (D) cont. Aspect 2: Controlling the variables. Identify the control variables and discuss how you will control them.

  4. DESIGN (D) Contd. Aspect 3a: Developing a method for data collection. Discuss the data that you will collect and the method that you will use to collect this data.

  5. DESIGN (D) Contd. Equipment, Materials List: Aspect 3b:Equipment, Materials, setup. Provide a list of equipment, materials, and a diagram of the experimental setup.

  6. Data Collection and Processing (DCP) Aspect 1:Raw Data Perform the experiment and record your data. (Insert additional pages as needed.)

  7. Data Collection and Processing (DCP) Aspect 2:Processed Data Do calculations and show processed (calculated) data, including error calculations. (Insert additional pages as needed.)

  8. Data Collection and Processing (DCP) Aspect 3:Present Processed Data Discuss and explain processed (calculated) data, including error analysis. (Insert additional pages as needed.)

  9. CONCLUSION and EVALUATION (CE) Aspect 1: Concluding. Write a conclusion to your experimental investigation.

  10. CONCLUSION and EVALUATION (CE) Aspect 2: Evaluating Procedures. Comment on your design, method of your investigation, and the quality of your data.

  11. CONCLUSION and EVALUATION (CE) Aspect 3: Improving the Investigation. Give suggestions for improving this investigation based on the weaknesses discussed in Aspect 2.

  12. How to use this SPARKlab Authoring Template (PowerPoint 2007 for Windows) Save this file as a PowerPoint Presentation (.pptx) with the name of the SPARKlab you intend to create:Office button > Save As > PowerPoint Presentation If you don’t see one horizontal and three vertical guide lines, display the Drawing Guides:Home > Arrange > Align > Grid Settings > Display drawing guides on screen If you wish, change the color theme for your SPARKlab:Design > Colors > choose color theme preview: In the Slides panel to the left, click above this instructional slide to place the insertion point before this slide. Insert a new slide for the first page of your SPARKlab, selecting the most appropriate layout for your planned content (refer to your storyboard):Home > New Slide button’s dropdown arrow > select layout Add text and insert pictures and other static content as desired. You can modify or delete the provided placeholders, but be aware of the boundaries defined by the guide lines… Leave white space where you intend to add interactive elements (data displays and text entry boxes) in the final SPARKlab.Tip: If you don’t have a storyboard, use the Notes field below the slide to describe the placement and content of the slide’s interactive elements. Continue to add new slides and content. Place all content slides before this instructional slide to maintain slide numbering. Save the completed file as a PowerPoint Presentation for potential future reference. Export all of the slides as .png image files for use as Background images in SPARKvue:Office button > Save As > Other Formats > Save as type: PNG Portable Network Graphics format (*.png) > Save > Every Slide Close PowerPoint and locate the folder of your exported PNG slide images (optionally deleting the image of this last instructional slide) for use constructing your SPARKlab in SPARKvue.
