Activity 4.1c Mathematical Modeling
Introduction
In this activity you will collect and analyze data in order to make predictions based on that data. You will use both manual and computer methods to record, manipulate, and analyze the data in order to determine mathematical relationships between quantities. These mathematical relationships can be represented graphically and by equations, also known as mathematical models. You will then use the mathematical models to make predictions related to the quantities.
