1 What do you Notice about the data in the table?
2 What do you Wonder?
3 The ride goes from lowest pointfeet to highest pointfeet in minutes.
4 The ride does a full cycle in minutes. (A full cycle can either be measured from high-point to high-point or low-point to low-point.)
5 Plot each of the points in the table (left) on the coordinate plane (right) to create a scatter plot.
6 Working from left to right, connect the dots one pair at a time using straight lines. This will create a data visualization known as a line-graph.
7 Draw a dotted horizontal line on the graph, precisely halfway between the highest and lowest point. What is its altitude? feet.
8 Describe the relationship you see between time and altitude. (Is it linear, quadratic, exponential, etc.?)
9 What kind of ride do you think the teacher was on, and why?
