Logarithmic and Exponential Murder Mystery Project and Lab
Solving exponential and logarithmic equations are fun and engaging in this mystery project. In this project students will work to test the stories of four suspects, Mrs. White, Colonel Mustard, Miss Scarlet, and Professor Plum. Each suspect has a defense for the crime but only math can prove if they are telling the truth.Exponential modeling using Newton's Law of Cooling is used to find the time of the murder. Exponential decay models are used to find how much poison was used.This two-three day

Trigonometric Functions Project Architecture Real World Trigonometry
Apply trigonometric functions to the real-world of architecture with this mini-project. In this student-tested and approved project, students design the front of a building using different roof styles. Students determine the use of the building, draw scale drawings, and use trigonometric functions to determine roof heights and lengths. This product is appropriate for students who are relatively new to applying trigonometric functions to problems and was originally used by Algebra 2 students.
