Tidal waves and Sine waves
Welcome
Welcome: Tidal waves and Sine waves
Description:
MGSE9-12.F.TF.5- choose trigonometric functions to model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline. The purpose of this project is to provide students an opportunity to analyze real-world data about tides and then create the model equation of a sinusoidal function. Although the cause of the movement of tides is well known, the tides at a given location are virtually impossible to calculate theoretically. What we CAN do is record heights of tides at locations over an extended length of time and then use a model to predict future tides.
