Jump! An Exploration into Parametric Equations

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Jump! An Exploration into Parametric Equations lesson plan also includes:
  • JUMP!!! Q 1
  • Jump!!! Q 2
  • Join to access all included materials

Explore parametric equations in this lesson, and learn how to determine how much time it takes for an object to fall compared with an object being launched. high scoolers will use parametric equations to follow the path of objects in free fall and then discuss why an object dropped and launched land at the same time.
