 * = 1 ||< **__Parabolic Enrichment Activity__**

In this enrichment activity, students explore the relationship (if any) between the shape of the Vdara hotel and resort in Las Vegas and the claims from guests that they are getting burned at certain times of day when laying poolside. The hotel looks parabolic and the pool looks like it could be near the focus. Students in my class investigate this shortly after we look at building a parabolic hot dog cooker. There are news stories floating around on the internet that you could use in class. I wasn't able to find one suitable for class on Youtube or TeacherTube. There is a TI-Nspire file and a Geogebra file. ||= [|TI-Nspire file]
