Theoretical and Experimental Probability M&M activity
Students need to find the probability of picking certain colored M&Ms, and asked to change them into decimals, fractions, and percents. They are asked to draw specific M&Ms at random for experimental probability problems. They are asked to make a few predictions, as well. This is a lengthy lesson and takes a while to get through, so make sure you have enough time to get through it. It can be done in 2 days, and if you need to use colored chips or counters instead, go for it!

Anesthesiologist -- Rational Functions - 21st Century Math Project
Every minute of relief can count for something. Once medicine enters the blood stream it will soon have its most powerful effect because it has its highest concentration. Over time the concentration reduces and once it reaches a certain level, the medicine will no longer be effective. The concentration level of medicines can be most accurately modeled by rational functions. Turn your Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus into a Medical Research Lab in this 21st Century Math Project.
