September 4th 2008 A.R. Big Idea : Observation and description of changes in the world around us are the first steps in discovering patterns Essential Question: What are some of the variables around us? Problem 1.1 Preparing For A Bicycle Tour This experiment requires 4 people: As a group, decide who will do each task Prepare a table for recording the total number of jumps after every 10 seconds, up to a total time of 120 seconds. RJ’s Jumping Jacks (seconds) || 10 || 20 ||  30 ||  40 ||  50 ||  60 ||  70 ||  80 ||  90 ||  100 ||  110 ||  120 || 15 ||  31 ||  45 || 65 || 75 || 88 || 99 || 107 || 121 || 134 || 148 || 176 ||   Problem 1.1 Follow Up
 * A jumper (to do jumping jacks)
 * A timer (to keep time of the time)
 * A counter (to count jumping jacks)
 * A recorder (to writ down the number of jumps)
 * Tables Graphs Equations
 * Time
 * Jumping Jacks ||


 * 1) The rate of the jumping jacks during the experiment did not change much
 * 2) . The table shows that if the riders traveled at about the same pace and there were no serious weather problems then they would not get tired so fast.
