 * Project Objective:**
 * To take Barbie (or Ken), or GI Joe, bungie jumping and provide her with the greatest thrill possible without endangering her life (or mess up that fabulous hairdo).
 * Instructions: To prepare to take Barbie bungie jumping, your group will be collecting practice jump data on the distance Barbie will fall when she jumps using a bungie chord made out of rubber bands. Your goal is to determine the number of rubber bands necessary to make a bungie cord long enough to allow Barbie to bungie jump from a platform of an unknown height and get her as close to the ground as possible without hitting her head. Your group will not have prior knowledge of the jump site.
 * You must use your regression line to make your best determination of the number of rubber bands that will be required based on your analysis of the practice jump data that your group collected and analyzed and an estimation of the height of the platform.
 * Be sure to have your practice jump and final jumps videotaped.
 * You will be graded on the thoroughness of your group’s completion of the requirements explained on the Information page.
 * Also, you and your group will have the opportunity to compete for 10 bonus points by having Barbie make the longest jump without hitting her head on the ground.
 * Any extra digital photos you take can enhance your final product.
