In the spirit of the National Science Education Standards (NRC 1996), many teachers attempt to have their students experience science in a constructivist, inquiry-oriented manner. The egg bungee jump activity will certainly support that mode of teaching, and has the added benefit of providing a concrete context within which students can explore rather abstract concepts of force, motion, and energy transformations. There are a number of science skills, process skills, and social skills that could be addressed with this activity (Figure 3). Students spend a lot of time working together in inquiry-oriented science classes, and an activity such as this can increase their comfort with working together. This activity is also beneficial for creating cooperative teamwork because the nature of the activity requires four people to be involved, not permitting one or two team members to take a purely passive role.
