Exponential and Logistic Modeling Internet Project
Using the provided URL, the applet provides a population growth simulation for two scenarios: exponential and logistic. This worksheet presents an orderly way to explore both, taking into account pros and cons for each. May be used for solely exponential modeling, though the logistic modeling helps students judge between different types of mathematical modeling. Worksheet includes a total of 6 "Experiments" to run with the simulation. Can be done in a computer lab in one hour. May be used e

Whatever floats your boat - demonstrate how math helps us in real-life tasks
This activity can be used to teach practical applications of everything from early algebra through Calculus. Students will be tasked with building a boat out of aluminum foil to see how many pennies can be held. The mathematics behind the buoyancy of the boat is then discussed and the activity repeated to see quantifiably how much an understanding of mathematics helps us accomplish tasks in the real world.
