Determine if a quadratic or exponential model fits a data set better, then use the model to make a prediction. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Students will explpre models and understand the difference between quadratic, exponential, and linear models in this lesson.

In this activity, students' will use a motion detector to measure how the position of a cart on a ramp changes with time. They will then determine a parabolic model for the position data using the intercepts.

In this activity, students' will record the motion of a bouncing ball using a motion detector. They will then model a bounce using both the general and vertex forms of the parabola.
