Drop scatter plots onto the class. Teams collect data to determine how far an action figure will fall suspended by rubber bands. Using the collected data, groups determine a line of best fit. Given a drop height, they also determine the number of rubber bands needed to allow the action figure to drop safely before putting them to the test to find out whether the calculations were correct.
