Your Challenge Today?

Your Materials

● Tape measure● Paper● Pencil/pen● 150 rubber bands● Your group’s dare-devil animal

Your Goals

1. Create a bungee cord that will NOT result in any part of your animal’s body touching the ground.

2. Make your animal’s ride as long as possible.

3. Test, collect data, and refine to find the ideal length of the bungee cord.

4. Communicate your process and progress to judges.

Scoring

Judges’ Scores + Length of Bungee Drop

If any part of the animal’s body touches the ground: Length of Drop = 0

Constraints

The height of the 3rd floor balcony will be revealed at 2:25 PM

The 2nd floor balcony will be open for testing at 2:35 PM

Please Consider Safety

● Look before you drop your animal!● Be careful with rubber bands -- we don’t want any to

snap, go flying, or wrap too tightly on any people.
