Applications of Linear Functions

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It's not so straightforward — lines can model a variety of applications. Pupils experience linear relationships within the context of science, including Hooke's and Ohm's Laws. Class members got a taste of motion and speed from the previous activity and take that experience to move on to other science applications.
