Collecting jumping data

Show students slide 9 of How far can we jump PowerPoint.

Revise: We have a problem to investigate: How far can our class jump? We have a plan of how to find this out. Now we need to collect data.

Use slide 7 to review the class’s jumping and measuring protocols.

Ask students to get into their groups of 3-4 students. Provide each group with a sheet of A4 paper for recording their jumps and measuring tools. Remind students that each student needs to collect data from three jumps.

Allow students time to collect their data using the established protocols.
