August 27th 2009  Bonny Lee __1.1 Preparing for a Bicycle Tour __ Big Idea: Observation and description of changes in the world around us are the first steps in finding and learning about patterns.   1.  Notes:  I could ride about 5 to 6 miles in a day. My speed could change during the course of the day by the different types of roads that I rode or will ride on. Some of the conditions that can affect the speed and distance I could ride are; traffic, temperature conditions , roads, trails, and bike conditions.  **2. Problem 1.1- Prepare a table for recording the total number of jumping jacks after every 10 seconds, up to a total time of 2 minutes (120 seconds) for the experiment. ** After the experiment, you should have a table done. Table (Example)- <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language: KO;">Time(seconds) <span style="font-size: 14pt;

How is this shown in your table? ** <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-language: KO;">A: As time passes, my jumping jack rate decreased little by little.

You should try to keep your pace while you are on the bicycle tour and do not try to overuse your energy. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: KO;"> <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: KO;"> Methods we used- <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: KO; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastlanguage: KO; msolist: Ignore;">1. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: KO;">Making graphs. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: KO; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastlanguage: KO; msolist: Ignore;">2. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: KO;">Collecting the independent and dependent variables. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: KO; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastlanguage: KO; msolist: Ignore;">3. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: KO;">Collecting data from an experiment. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: KO; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastlanguage: KO; msolist: Ignore;">4. <span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: KO;">Naming the y-axis and the x-axis.
