Elliptical Orbits Project (PBL) - Precalculus Conic Sections & Eccentricity

Created by
Megan Haynes
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.

Snap Back – A Marvel-Themed Exponentials and Logarithms Project

Snap Back: A Mathematical Mission to Retrieve the Gauntlet An immersive, Avengers-themed project on exponential and logarithmic functions. In this full-unit project, students step into the role of the Avengers’ mathematical strike team as they plan a high-stakes infiltration of Thanos’ lair. Through story-driven missions and decision-making, students apply exponential and logarithmic concepts in rich, meaningful contexts inspired by the Marvel universe.
