Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This The football and Braking Distance; Model Data with Quadratic Functions lesson plan also includes:

Students use the quadratic formula to solve application problems. The first problem relates to the path of a football thrown from the top of the bleachers. Students compute the time it will take the football to reach certain heights. In the second problem students find a mathematical model to predict the stopping distance of a car.
