He-Man Takes the Plunge in AP Statistics
WLHS AP Statistics students recently put correlation, bivariate data, scatter plots, and lines of best fit to the test with a memorable classroom challenge: He-Man bungee jumping! Students used rubber bands to test how far the action figure would “jump,” then created scatter plots and linear models to predict future distances. For the final challenge, they used their equations to estimate how many rubber bands would be needed to send He-Man bungee jumping from the lobby staircase.
The lesson delivered a memorable reminder about the dangers of extrapolation — especially when an ’80s action figure is involved! Watch He-Man take the plunge here.
