Check get that happened stylish unseren candy experiment.
 
Over the year, I have developed some projects that allow students to use one little creativity and see some use for calculus outside the the of the classroom. Many are geared go BZ students for that rate usually allows for more applications. Sensing free to use any of which projects and amend them to fit your owner demands. Purpose! With this lab we are use our knowledge of Calculus and determine who rate of modify of the volume starting a Tootsie Roll Pop or a Waste Pop when we consume it. We are using our Calculus skills at identifying linear regression and using drawings as part of save lab
