In this project, I explored how sea levels were rising in coastal Georgia by studying real tidal data from Fort Pulaski. I used my understanding of functions and learned new concepts by watching videos, discussing with my classmates, and summarizing key points. I also performed regression analysis to make sense of the data and understood the impacts of climate change on sea level rise.

For the ENGAGE task, I summarized my key takeaways from the project  and added them to a Google slide presentation.

In this part of the project, I explored how sea levels were rising in coastal Georgia by using real tidal data from Fort Pulaski in Savannah, GA. I compared the actual (verified) sea water levels with predicted levels using regression analysis. Through this, I understood the impacts of sea level rise and how resilient measures could protect coastal communities.

This poem is designed to help students remember the transformations of sinusoidal functions in a fun and rhythmic way. Using the flow of November by Tyler, the Creator, it breaks down key concepts like amplitude, phase shifts, frequency, and vertical shifts into an easy-to-recall pattern. By turning math into a catchy verse, the goal is to make learning transformations more engaging and memorable for students.

My digital poster highlighted specific parts of the worksheet by including the original problem description, all the questions, and detailed solutions with written explanations. I made sure to show all my work step by step, including the equation I derived for Don Quixote’s height, a clear graph of the function, and a visual representation of the windmill situation. The poster was not only mathematically accurate but also visually engaging, meeting all the project criteria. After completing it, I uploaded my work to Google Classroom and my digital portfolio as required.

The worksheet helped me complete both the digital poster and poem/song by guiding me through the transformations of sinusoidal functions using Don Quixote’s height on a rotating windmill. It walked me through finding the equation, graphing the function, and answering questions about maximum height, phase shifts, and safe jumping intervals. These calculations and explanations formed the foundation of my poster, while the poem/song turned these transformations into an easy-to-remember rhythm. By completing the worksheet, I had all the math and understanding needed to create a strong, accurate, and creative final project.
