AIM : Students build a ferris wheel that will consistently rotate using a DC motor
Ⓢ : Students will make connections with position over time, relating physical science to mathematics.
ⓣ : Students will technology to aid in their regression analysis
ⓔ : Students will use their engineering skills to build a motorized ferris wheel
ⓐ : Students will use their artistic and creative design skills to build the wheel
ⓜ : Students will model the position of a passenger using sinusoidal functions.

Teacher Notes

◽ Students should work in groups of 4

◽ The Yellow DC motor is the strongest and best for this project.

◽ Both of the Trig units I have created (units 9 - 10) are using the flipped model to ensure an appropriate amount of class time is used to build the model.

◽Slow motion recording and sinusoid regression seemed to be the most challenging aspects.
