They present their results using charts, graphs, illustrations, and photographs to the principal and custodial staff. Developing ideas for proposed solutions, investigating ideas, collecting data, and showing relationships and patterns in the data. Constructing components or models, arriving at a solution, and evaluating the result. Timed removals of clips from plastic cups represents the action of predators and varying the percentage of the return of clips to cups represent differences in reproductive rates. Students apply mathematical modeling techniques to graph population growth changes and make interpretations related to resource depletion.
Students participate in an extended, culminating mathematics, science, and technology project.
Students gather, analyze, and chart information on the number and causes of auto accidents in their county and look for trends. They present their results, including a videotaped segment, to a driver education class. Developing ideas for proposed solutions, investigating ideas, collecting data, and showing relationships and patterns in the data. Constructing components or models, arriving at a solution, and evaluating the result. Students participate in an extended, culminating mathematics, science, and technology project.
