Use a string or tape measure to measure the circumference of the object. Use the circumference to compute the radius, and use the radius to create a scatter plot. (x3points)
Graph has a few points, vaguely resembles the chosen object. No radius calculations shown. No circumference measurements given.
Graph has some points, circumference measurements given, radius calculations were given with no/incorrect work shown.
Graph has 50 or more points,looks much like the object chosen. Radius calculations are complete with little or no errors. Circumference measurements are recorded.
Graph has at least 60 points. Radius calculations are without error. Circumference measurements are recorded and easily interpreted.
____
Use the hand drawn graph to compute left and right Riemann sums for the volume. Average these sums to compute the trapezoidal sum. Write a paragraph to explain what these sums represent. (x4points)
Few,incorrect or incomplete sums. Incomplete or incorrect paragraph.
The sums contained at least 10 rectangles, with few or no errors. Paragraph had some correct information.
Sums contained at least 15 rectangles with no errors. Paragraph had mostly correct information
Sums contained at least 20 rectangles with no errors. Paragraph was completely correct with all important information provided.
____
Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to develop piecewise functions to represent the object (x4points)
Few incorrect or incomplete functions.
At least 10 functions with few or no errors. When graphed it is possible to identify the object.
At least 15 functions with no errors. The object is easily identified by the graphs.
At least 20 functions with no errors. The graph looks exactly like the object.
____
Use the piecewise functions to compute the volume of the object, write a paragraph comparing these values to Riemann sum values. (x4points)
Few,incorrect or incomplete calculations. Incomplete or incorrect paragraph.
The calculations had mostly correct bounds, with few or no errors. Paragraph had some correct information.
Calculations contained fewer than 4 errors. Paragraph had mostly correct information
Calculations were all correct with all correct bounds of integration. Paragraph was completely correct with all important information provided.
____
Presentation of project. (x2points)
Very little organization. Careless or illegible writing. In general difficult to determine what work was done.
Some organization. Writing can be read with some effort.
Good organization. Each section of the project is labeled and easily identified. Neat handwriting or typed.
Very organized and professional. A cover for the project as well as for each section is included. Everything is labeled easily identified. Project is typed.
