In this activity, students will design their own miniature golf hole and then determine the path along which a ball would travel to score a "hole-in-one."
In this activity, students work in teams to develop a method for creating a mathematical model of the path of a ball. The teams measure the height from which a ball is thrown, and the time taken for the ball to reach the ground.
Working in groups, students will select a city and then use U.S. government census data to develop an algebraic relationship between time and population size.
In this activity, students will investigate factors that influence the temperature of an isolated system and relate this to average kinetic energy and thermodynamic properties.
