Description
Engage students with a real world math project as they apply rational functions in an anesthesiology scenario. This activity helps students model real-world situations, analyze relationships, and apply Algebra 2 concepts in a meaningful context.
Turn your Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus into a Medical Research Lab in this 21st Century Math Project. Students will use rational functions to determine the amount of medicine or anesthesia in a patient's bloodstream.
Every minute of relief can count for something. Once medicine enters the bloodstream, it will soon have its most powerful effect because it has its highest concentration. Over time, the concentration reduces, and once it reaches a certain level, the medicine will no longer be effective. The concentration level of medicines can be most accurately modeled by rational functions.
In this 17-page document, you will be given a mapping to the Content Standards, an outline for how to implement the project, handout resources for students to use, and an answer key.
In all, it is three different assignments --
-- In “Sedation Class,” students will use rational models to create a table and construct a graph of the data.
-- In “Medication", students will investigate 5 different rational models of medicine to determine which has the longest-lasting effects.
-- In “Anesthesiology Crisis”, students will wear their anesthesiologist hats and find a paperwork disaster. There are 6 patients, and the levels and types of sedation were mixed up. Using graphs or tables, students must determine which rational model belongs to which patient. They must determine when the patients will wake from anesthesia, and they have to figure out if patients will need more anesthesia.

Peace Stephen,
This is a way you can contact the seller and we would've been happy to have helped. You can also reach us at teach@clarkcreativeeducation.com This particular project involves estimating regression functions, so there is not one single solution that can be provided, only most of our resources (though some similarly have an answer will vary situation). But alas, that's how it is in the real world. Please contact TpT below for a refund. I'm sorry this didn't work out for you. If TpT isn't response just email us and we can try to help. Be well!
