A team member of mine has a really great lesson using Newton’s Law of Cooling to solve a murder. We like to make it more fun than just “doing the math” to solve the problem, so we create a little scene to inspire our students! Here is this year’s set up complete with a dead body under a sheet and a “chalk” outline on the floor (gotta thank my son for getting on the floor so I could create that part!). We got smart this year and did one set up in a central location so all the precalc classes could use it (why we had never thought of that before this year is a mystery in and of itself!) I love this day and this activity!
