name_________________________

You can have groups of up to 4 but no more. Group selection is up to you. You need to drive some predetermined route that will take you more than five minutes. You must set your odometer to 0 or record your starting mileage. Then you must record your ending mileage when you are done. You will record your speed in MPH regularly. (I would choose every 10 seconds or something) But its your choice. You need to determine how far you traveled just using the speeds during each interval. This needs to be done using left and right sums. You should have two different estimates. (show work.) You need to have a speed/time graph You need to have a drawing of the rectangles for each of the 2 estimates. Answer the following questions in complete sentences as part of a minimum one paragraph summary to your project: o How far did you travel according to your odometer? o How far did you travel according to your two estimates? o Which estimate is the most accurate in this case? o How could you have made your estimates for the distance traveled more accurate? o How do you find the distance traveled when only given speeds? Present your project to the class displayed in some way. o Creative freedom is given for displaying and presenting your project. Please take your time to put your project together well. o DO NOT bring in a piece of notebook paper with a couple of roughly sketched graphs and chicken scratch. o Make sure that everything is done from above. o Make sure that you indicate each different part with adequate labels. o Answer the above questions in short form with work before you include them in your summary. o Please write a summary that is clear and well thought out. Be prepared to answer for how you contributed to your group and how others in your group participated as well.
