Below is a video of a simulated bugee jump

Below is a screen grab of the Tracker Video Analysis for the above Bungee Jump video


I created a lesson package for teachers to use as an ICT-enabled lseeson. This lesson package has been upload to Singapore Open Source Physics library. Do follow the link to download the resource Investigate Bungee Jump using Tracker at OPS@SG. The resource include a Tracker file of the bungee jump, a lesson plan for teachers and a guided lesson note for student. 

Resource for students can be found at my Google site for Investing Bungee Jump. Teachers may direct the students to this site during your lesson.
