SHADOWS SIMILARITY PROPORTIONS TRIGONOMETRY
HOW LONG IS A SHADOW? • THINK OF VARIABLES THAT WOULD AFFECT THE LENGTH OF A SHADOW • MAKE A LIST
HOW LONG IS A SHADOW? • IN YOUR GROUP, CHOOSE ONE VARIABLE TO EXPERIMENT WITH AT HOME • KEEP EVERYTHING ELSE CONSTANT
EXPERIMENTING WITH SHADOWS • EXPERIMENT AT HOME • DESCRIBE RESULTS • INCLUDE NUMERCIAL DATA • DIAGRAM
SHADOW DATA GATHERING • THE HEIGHT OF THE LIGHT SOURCE • THE DISTANCE FROM THE OBJECT TO THE LIGTH SOURCE • THE HEIGHT OF THE OBJECT
SHADOW DATA GATHERING • WHAT FORMULA CAN BE USED TO EXPRESS S AS A FUNCTION OF THE VARIABLES L, D, AND H? S = f(L, D, H)
AN N-BY-N WINDOW • FIND A FORMULA FOR THE TOTAL NUMBER OF WOOD STICKS NEEDED TO BUILD ANY SQUARE WINDOW
LOOKING FOR EQUATIONS • MAKE IN OUT TABLES OF YOUR GROUPS DATA AND 3 OTHER GROUPS • TRY GRAPHING DATA • FIND AN EQUATION
MORE ABOUT WINDOWS • FIND A FORMULA FOR THE TOTAL NUMBER OF WOODEN STICKS NEEDED FOR ANY RECTANGULAR WINDOW M X N WINDOW
HOW TO SHRINK IT? • LOLA’S: KEEP ANGLES THE SAME AND SUBTRACT 5 FROM EACH SIDE • LILY’S : KEEP ALL LENGTHS THE SAME AND DIVIDE THE ANGLES BY 2 • LULU’S : KEEP ALL THE ANGLES THE SAME AND DIVIDE THE LENGHTS OF THE SIDES BY 2
THE STATUE OF LIBERTY’S NOSE • COMPARE YOUR NOSE AND ARM TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY’S NOSE AND ARM • COMPARE YOUR LEG TO THE STATUE OF LIBERTY’S.
