About This Lesson
Students will apply an Algebra I equation to the real life experience of bungee jumping in this engaging lesson. They are given the challenge to design an egg bungee jump with rubber bands and a plastic bag requiring that they predict the number of rubber bands required for a 16 feet high bungee egg drop off their school stadium bleachers. 2008 California State Teacher of the Year, Lewis Chappelear, shares his advice for implementing this lesson in your classroom.
