LESSON OUTLINE
5min Students complete the Do Now.
10min Teacher outlines the procedure for the MiniLab. Students will sweep the jump area and then line up. The rope will rotate to the beat of a metronome as students jump through.
15min Students collect data - the number of students that clear the jump rope. (BPM: 40, 60, 80, and 100.)
5min Students calculate the averages.
5min Students determine the independent variable, dependent variable, constants, hypothesis, and title.
5min Students plot their data; add an appropriate trendline; complete an analysis; and make a prediction for an untested distance. (How many students would clear the jump rope at 30 BMP.)
5min Collect materials. Clean up. Wrap up.
