After a car and pedestrian accident occurs near the local school, concerned students, parents, and neighbors launch a neighborhood safety project. Students consider potential hazards and then collect traffic and pedestrian data that might shed light on the situation. A survey is conducted to determine how children in the neighborhood travel between home and school, and students challenge their classmates to increase their use of human-powered (foot and pedal) transportation. Students use spreadsheets to enter and represent data, analyze their observations and survey data to determine the most significant problems, and study possible solutions. They develop a proposal for improving traffic safety, create slideshows and brochures, and present their ideas to the local city council. ||  ||   || Taylor Blair ||=  ||   || (developed summer session yr one) || Students will learn about the relationship between entrepreneurship and its impact on our local economy.

Derive rules of exponents Simplify numeric and algebraic expressions containing exponents Perform a regression using a graphing calculator Graph an exponential function given a table of values Graph an exponential function given the equation in the form y=abx Find the equation of an exponential function given a table of values Describe real-life situations involving exponential growth and decay Draw a scatter plot and make predictions about real-life situations || You are an environmental scientist hired by the United States government to advise them as they take steps to lead in a worldwide effort to face a global environmental crisis. You will focus your research on the population growth rate and investigate the effect on a related item such as waste, food, disease, life expectancy/mortality rate, poverty, inflation or national debt. Identify an issue related to the global situation, which exhibits characteristics of change that can be modeled by an exponential function. Prepare a presentation that includes multiple representations of the data and well justified predictions using this data. || Tanguay ||=  || See our Wikispace || Janell Starlin Cari Matras Ellen Baucom ||=  ||   ||
