Big understanding Observation and description of changes in the world around us are the first steps in finding and learning about patterns.

INV 1 Essential Question: What are some of the variables around us?

Problem 1.2

A. Make a graph of your jumping jack data.

Problem 1.2 A Graph

B. What does your graph show about jumping jack rate as time passes? (Another way to say this is, What does your graph show about the relationship between the number of jumping jacks and time.)

Answer = I was going on a steady pace until the 70th second. I boosted up for about 10 seconds. After that I went a bit slower for the next 10 seconds, and after that I started going on a steady pace again. Most people would have gotten slower as time passed but I pushed my self to the limit, so I went faster.

1.2 Follow up

In the relationship you found between the number of jumping jacks and time easier to see in the table or graph? Explain your answer.

Answer = It is easier to show the difference of how fast or slow you are going in a graph. The data is more visible on the graph, but on a table it is easier to find the difference between the numbers of jumping jacks in every 10 seconds
