What’s cool?
For this specific lesson, the temperature prove and data collection interface and a calculator will be needed. The temperature prove is a device that will help students gather data, analyze it and graphed (in the calculator). Students will be asked to work in groups to find an exponential model for the temperature data (this will be collected by the temperature prove). By working in groups students will be able to critique and defend their own ideas and arguments, share their opinions and practice the standards. Students will develop models using the formula, Tdiff=Toe-kt. This activity is aligned with the CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSF-LE.A.3: Construct and compare linear, quadratic and exponential models and solve problems.
Students need to record their data in the tables (see attachment) and complete several analysis questions to understand the problem correctly.
