Exponential and Logarithmic Project

Dear New Tech Pre-Calculus students,

For this project we will be taking a closer at exponential growth and decay in the real world. You will be researching different examples that represent exponential growth and decay! As part of your research, you will have to write a report explaining your topic(s) that includes all your calculations. You will also need to present your findings to the classes and have a digital representation such as a Prezi, Glogster, web page, etc.

All files you need (homeworks and project rubrics for regular and pre-AP) can be found here:
http://drop.io/precalexponent (because echo can't be relied on)

Be creative!

Sincerely,
Dr. Holland and Mrs. Estrada
