This poster summarizes an experiment to calculate hang time when jumping from a standing position. The students used equations relating displacement, velocity, time and gravity. Maeve's hang time was measured at 0.35 seconds for a 15cm jump. Alice's was 0.40 seconds for a 20cm jump. The students accurately calculated hang times but note sources of error in marking jump heights could be improved.

Introduction: Procedure: Data:
We used mathematics and Maeve! hang time = 0.35s (15cm) computational thinking by Figure 1: Marking Alice hang time = 0.40 sec (20 cm) Maeve prepares to jump to using the following mark the height, with tape, that equations: y2= y1+ vt - ½gt 2 she can reach while jumping. In Analysis: this photo you can see that she We started with the equation y2= y1+ vt - ½gt 2 and the equation √([2y1]/g) = has already marked how high she can reach while standing. → 0 = y1 - ½gt → -y1= -½gt 2 2

previous equation. We also → √([2y1]/g) = t
communicated with scientific We then substituted our numbers in. framework, by putting our Figure 2: Measuring Alice: √([2(0.2)]/9.81) = 0.2 processes on this poster. Alice uses a measuring tape to Maeve: √([2(0.15)]/9.81) = 0.175 measure the distance between Then we multiplied each by two for the total hang the height she could reach while standing and the height she time (not just the time down) and got 0.4 seconds for could reach while jumping. Alice and 0.35 seconds for Maeve. Objective: Find our hang-time from a Conclusion: standing jump. Graph: After finding our hang-time, we got .35s for Maeve! and .40s for Alice. For this lab, some things that could be improved, so there are less sources of error, are the way that we mark how high we can jump- in Materials: a way that includes how high our fingertips touch, - 4 pieces of tape and that lets us know exactly where to measure from - 1 measuring tape (doesn’t leave us wondering whether to measure from the bottom, middle, or top of the tape). However, the data for both of us is still fairly accurate, and is probably only off by a little bit from these sources of error.
