This activity is designed to be used as a culminating activity for a unit on quadratic equations. Further this activity assumes that the students have previously studied linear equations.
This activity would work best if integrated with a Language Arts class in order to accurately assess the grammar component and increase the weight of the final product.
If students need more assistance than what is provided in the tasks additional resources are avail for review of quadratic equation concepts at YouTube or through Kahn Academy. Further, if there is a need to address the length of the engineering tasks students could be allowed to do only 1 or 2 of the activities instead of all three.
