This is a collaborative lesson that uses maths to model a bouncing ball.
It is the first part of a 5 part collaborative lesson with the Physics to help scaffold students into creating mathematical models , designing experiments , exploring relationships between Geometric series, Vertical Dilated Quadratic function and their relationships of projectile motion in a system with loss of energy.
Not that student ownership , Student agency , and student independence is also included in the progress of the lesson
Teachers instructions will be posted later
This resource is ideally done while teaching transformations.
It serves as an inquiry based lesson into enlargement.
It is pair or group work.
If you teach IBDP or MYP then this is ideal for verticle planning and developing written maths skills towards their IAs (internal assessments)
This task is set for Keystage for for IGCSE and even for advanced Keystage 3
This task does require resources such as a torch(flashlight) with the likelyhood they use their phone’s torch(flashlight) and measuring device (ruler, tape measure, string or app on phone)

This is a worksheet for one of the stations that I planned for a Key stage 3 ZOO Trip for maths. I re-branded it as a MATHS safari and in particular it is at the shanghai zoo.
