Using a meter stick measure your standing vertical jump in cm.

(Note: __________ cm = 1 jump)

Now convert to determine how many vertical jumps would it take for you to “jump” 1 kilometer.

Start with 1km, then convert to your jumps….

(Note: 100 cm = 1 m 1000 m = 1 km _____cm = 1 jump)

Calculate how long it takes you to walk 10 meters in seconds.

(Note: 10 m = _____ s)

How many hours would it take you to walk to visit Mr. Weise’s University? (From Crossroads to Michigan State Uiversity nonstop is 68.8 miles).

(Note: 1000 m = 1 km; 1 miles = 1.609 kilometers; 60 second = 1 min; 60 min = 1 hour)

Find the mass of a tootsie roll in grams.

Record the time it takes to chew one tootsie roll until it is gone in seconds.

Record the grams chewed per second ( ____ g/s)

How many minutes would it take you to eat 1 Kg of Tootsie Rolls? (one piece at a time).

(Note: 1000g = 1 kg; 60 s = 1 min; 60 min = 1 hour)
