Students will be able to create 3D containers with an appropriate flow rate, determine how fast the water in a 3D tank is dropping, and verify the flow rate of a 3D object using differentiation.

Students will design and produce a cell phone holder that serves, at a minimum, as a charging station for a smartphone of their choice.

The Draining Tank Problem Standard (From the California State Calculus Standards): 4.0 Students demonstrate an understanding of the formal definition of the derivative of a function at a point and the notion of differentiability 9.0 Students use differentiation to sketch, by hand, graphs of functions. They can identify maxima, minima, inflection points, and intervals in which the […]
