Elliptical Orbits Project (PBL) - Precalculus Conic Sections & Eccentricity
This engaging Project-Based Learning (PBL) activity brings conic sections to life by having students explore how ellipses model real-world orbits. Students select a planet, moon, comet, or satellite and use research to gather key data such as eccentricity and orbital measurements, then create a mathematical model using the equation of an ellipse. They will construct and label a diagram, analyze how eccentricity affects the shape of the orbit, and present their findings through a visual project.

Mini Mystery (Dipole bank robbery mystery)
I've created a set of mini minute mysteries for a colleague of mine. She has a student who's advanced for his grade level and is constantly looking for more challenging work.

The science-based "re-branding" of Dipole comes from the fact that "Marple" comes from the word Maypole. I thought why not make these things as STEA
