Our height changes throughout the day. When we lie down at night, gravity no longer pulls in a direction to make us shorter, so our bodies stretch, and we return to our taller height again. However, astronauts who don’t experience the effect of gravity for months at a time grow taller.

In this activity...

The video asks students to predict when a bungee jumper experiences maximum acceleration.  The answer is at the very bottom of the jump.  This is often counter-intuitive as the velocity at this point is almost zero. 

However, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity over time, a = Δv/Δt...
