Description
This bundle contains the questions and data set for the Exponential Functions Ball Drop Lab.
When you drop a ball, the height of successive bounces follows an exponential decay relationship. In this lab, students use regression analysis on the provided data set to interpret exponential equations in a real life physical context. The lab includes data for a tennis ball and a soccer ball. After analyzing the data for each ball separately, students are asked to explain how the differences in the parameters of the regression equation correspond to physical properties of the balls.

CCSSHSF-LE.A.1c
Recognize situations in which a quantity grows or decays by a constant percent rate per unit interval relative to another.
CCSSHSF-LE.A.2
Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).
CCSSHSF-LE.A.3
Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function.
CCSSHSF-LE.B.5
Interpret the parameters in a linear or exponential function in terms of a context.
