Module 07: Project Option 1 Instructions First, you need to come up with an activity. If you are having trouble thinking of what to do, here are some ideas: • How many jumping jacks can you do in a minute? • How many times can you write your full address in a minute? • How many points can you score in a game in three minutes? • How many pages of a book can you read in four minutes? • How far can you walk in five minutes? Feel free to be creative or even to come up with an activity you think your teacher has not seen before. Now that you have decided what your activity is going to be, it’s time to get started. Part 1: Record Information Spend a short amount of time (one to five minutes) doing your activity. Answer the following questions: 1. What was the activity? 2. How long did you spend doing your activity? 3. How much of the activity did you complete in the time period? (Example: I did 24 sit-ups in one minute.) 4. Which of these variables is your dependent variable? 5. Which one is the independent variable? 6. Write a sentence that describes the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. (Hint: Ratio language can help.) (Questions 1 to 3 are worth 1 point each; questions 4 to 6 are worth 2 points each.) Part 2: Prepare a Table Assuming that you could complete the activity at the same rate over different time periods, how much of the activity could you complete in two minutes, three minutes, four minutes, and five minutes? (Note: If you spent two minutes doing your activity, then you should edit the table below and use multiples of 2 up to 10). You may use the table below for your variables. Time (minutes) 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 Part 3: Prepare a Graph Create a graph to show your relationship. Make sure you include all the parts for a graph and show the data clearly. Include a title for the graph and label the x- and y-axes. Part 4: Write an Equation Based on your recorded values, write an equation that represents the relationship between the time you spent doing the activity and the amount of the activity you completed. Make sure to define your variables. Follow-up questions 7. If you were able to maintain this rate of your activity for 12 minutes, how much of the activity would you be able to complete? 8. How long would it take you to reach 100 for the number of times you did your activity? 9. Which representation do you believe is the best way to share this information with someone else? This is your opinion. No answer is right or wrong. (Question 1 is worth 1 point; questions 2 and 3 are worth 2 points each.)
