Well, this was another one I wasn't expecting. Spending a class analyzing circles. And then reporting out findings on a slope of a graph involving Diameter vs. Circumference. All done by hand. This meant measuring around the outside of each object for the circumference, using tools to measure the diameter, and outlining the object on a grid to then attempt to calculate area.
After the calculating, it was time to go to the infamous whiteboards, to create a graph with one set of data. We may have had an outlier on that graph, but then again, we may have also cheated when it came to getting data for a hula hoop because that was going to be a nightmare to measure. So it was to the internet for the hula hoop data. But using the data we got for diameter and circumference, we were able to make a graph with a slope based on 6 items we measured and the hula hoop.
