Overview

Directions:
 * In groups of **two** you will create a poster/google presentation/screencast containing the information listed below in order to explore the **sine/cosine function** in more depth and relate it to real world data sets.
 * You make choose between the following sets of data (not found in #|textbook):
 * Average **tempurature** of two cities on Earth that vary greatly (monthly/daily)media type="custom" key="9974295" align="right"
 * **Sunrise and Sunset times** for a city (monthly/daily)
 * **Predetor/Prey model** (multi-year)
 * **High/low tides** of two cities (hourly)
 * or other you might come across
 * Your poster/presentation should include at least the following
 * Title and names of creators
 * Data Chart (with at least 12 entries)
 * Best fit equations of data
 * Explicitly state the amplitude, period, vertical shift and phase shift
 * Graph of equations with cyclic graph showing and appropriate axis labels
 * One paragraph explaining your poster
 * Creativity, Color, Attractiveness, Pleasentry
 * You will be given worktime in class, but possibly will need to finish outside of class.
 * Each group will present their poster/presentation/screencast to the class and give a 2 minute explaination of the data, function equation and other relavent material on their choosen topic. After presentations the posters will be displayed on the wall.
 * Presentations will occur on **Monday May 16****th**.
 * Grading will be determined by the attached rubric.


 * || Student Name: __ ||  ||
 * CATEGORY || **4**  || **3**  || **2**  || **1**  ||
 * **Neatness and Attractiveness** || Exceptionally well designed, neat, and #|attractive. Colors that go well together are used to make the graph more readable.  || Neat and relatively attractive. A ruler and graph paper (or graphing #|computer program) are used to make the graph more readable.  || Lines are neatly drawn but the graph appears quite plain.  || Appears messy and "thrown together" in a hurry. Lines are visibly crooked.  ||
 * **Type of Graph Chosen** || Graph fits the data well and makes it easy to interpret.  || Graph is adequate and does not distort the data, but interpretation of the data is somewhat difficult.  || Graph distorts the data somewhat and interpretation of the data is somewhat difficult.  || Graph seriously distorts the data making interpretation almost impossible.  ||
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**Data Table** || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Data in the table is well organized, accurate, and easy to read.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Data in the table is organized, accurate, and easy to read.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Data in the table is accurate and easy to read.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Data in the table is not accurate and/or cannot be read.  ||
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**Equation** || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Fits data very well. Including the correct amplitude, period, vertical shift and phase shift. Is accurate to the tenths.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Fits data OK, including three of the following: amplitude, period, vertical shift, and phase shift.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Needs work, but has correct amplitide and vertical shift.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Does not fit data chart. Conncection can not be make for any of the following: amplitude, period, vertical shift, phase shift.  ||
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">**Presentation** || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Explains poster very well with little struggle including the data chart, related equation, and characteristics of equation. Shows that they practiced before hand.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Explains poster OK. Covers majority of the information required but misses a few points. Answers questions within reason.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Covers less than half the information required and doesn't answer appropriate questions adequitly.  || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: arial,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Struggles with explaination of poster and needs ques on what to talk about.  ||
