|Module 27 - Activities for Enhancing the Teaching of Calculus|
|Introduction | Assignment | Activity 6 | Activity 7 | Activity 8 | Activity 9 | Activity 10|
|Activity 7: Grill Master|
This enrichment activity is perfect for an end of the year activity in an honors Calculus course. The activity uses differential equations to predict the cooking times of various meats. Only a minimal understanding of differential equations needs to be understood to complete the activity. The TI-89 will assist the students with the differential equations.
This activity will be very challenging for the students and should be used toward the end of the course as an enrichment activity. The TI-89 will do all of the difficult calculations, however a general understanding of differential equations will greatly benefit the students.
The example on the worksheet can be used as an introduction.
