12 O'Quad High: Trigonometry in Flight
Apply knowledge of trigonometric functions.
Students in Peggy Brookins and Raymond James' classes apply their knowledge of sine and cosine when designing quadcopters. Students begin by connecting the movement of the quadcopter's propellers to the graphs of sine and cosine. Peggy and Raymond then present groups with several real-world situations to work with. The groups work together and then present their findings to the class. At the end of class, the students go outside to fly their quadcopters.
