Description
If only Humpty-Dumpty had known about the egg bungee jump...
This engaging activity helps students experience science in a constructivist, inquiry-oriented manner and has the added benefit of providing a concrete context within which students can explore rather abstract concepts of force, motion, and energy transformations.
Ideas For Use
With this activity, students are challenged to develop laboratory procedures; to conduct experiments with care; to generate, process, and interpret data; and to do so in an atmosphere of respect for others' ideas.
