Calculus- Volume of solids, arc length, surface area for SMART boards
This unit includes everything you need when covering the disc & shell methods and arc length and surface area in calculus class. I use an interactive whiteboard (interwrite) in conjunction with the Turning Point student clickers so the two powerpoint presentations are ready for that (they can also be used without the technology). This could also be used with SMART boards or similar equipment.
I've included two quizzes covering the disc and shell method for determining volume. I've also i

Implicit Differentiation Activity - Optical Illusions
Teacher notes are included.The 1-2 day activity is intended to apply implicit differentiation techniques to a set of graphs that create an optical illusion. There are 6 optical illusions for student to choose from. Students will prove that the illusion is false by showing that the derivative of a function at a point is described by a straight line, not one that bends or curves.

When will the Earth stop spinning?
Every bit of knowledge can be very powerful in solving even highly complicated looking problems. In this study, I present a scientific (semi-empirical) path which leads the reader to the answer to the question: "When will the Earth stop spinning?". Practically, using the high school Physics and Math knowledge, that how a scientist would predict the fate of the Earth's spin is shown. I intend to make high school students, who have taken AP Physics classes, realize how powerful the knowledge they
Numeric Integration, Special Functions Project
This calculus project deals with numeric integration and functions whose anti-derivative cannot be found. Students are assigned one of seven given functions and tasked to perform a series of numeric approximations of their definite integral, in addition to some basic research about the function and its behavior. Students will use their calculator and lists, Geogebra, and a spreadsheet.

Cubic Project
This is a project designed around a specific property of any cubic polynomial. Students will write equations of tangent lines to a given cubic function and then determine areas of resulting bounded regions. By investigating these areas a perplexing property of cubic polynomials will be discovered. There are two parts to the project. In part one students work with a specific cubic and arrive and specific answers. In part two students solve the problem in general for any cubic. CAS methods are
