1.
|
Dr. Kathleen Rondinone,
Southern Connecticut State University |
Barbie Bungee Jumping
|
In this session we will take some practice tests on different weights and use linear regression to extrapolate to the length of rubber band needed to safely drop Barbie from extreme heights. How can we use math to estimate safe but exciting bungee lengths? We will conduct different experiments and then test out our Bungee on several Barbies. |

Dr. Adam Goldberg and Mrs. Ingrid Elinger-Doviak, Southern Connecticut State University |
Explorations in Geometry and Measurement |
In this session participants will explore cool geometry and measurement activities. From interesting measurements in the human body to 3-D objects all around us to fun with tangrams. This session is sure to keep your interest. |
|
3.
|
Dr. Scott Graves, Southern Connecticut State University |
What does a cloud weigh? |
Experience Geometry and calculations in a deeper meaning generated in discussions circling around "visualization"! |
|
4.
|
Dr. Lara Smetana, Southern Connecticut State University |
Crime Scene Science? |
In this session students will be presented with a case to solve, examine evidence from the crime scene, analyze the data, and draw conclusions to determine the culpit. |
|
5.
|
Steve Lecky |
The Mathematics of Global Warming! |
Everyone has heard of Global Warming, but what exactly is causing the rising global temperatures? Come and explore the causes and the scientific data. We will develop mathematical equations to model the patterns and to make projections for the future. Along the way, you'll be introduced to exponential growth. And, we'll consider the environmental impact of our projected results. |

How long is the coast of Connecticut? |
Nobody knows and nobody will ever know! See why. Then meet some mathematical versions of coast lines from fractal geometry, where three quarters is one whole and shapes come from dimensions between 1 and 2. |
