The group project is to either
<ul>
 <li>write a report on a news article relating it to as much of calculus as possible (1 page).
 <li>create a or model (physical or electronic) of a calculus concept and write a half page explanation relating the model to as much of the course material as possible.
 <li>make a short video or write a short paper thoroughly explaining a solution to a fun problem using as much of calculus as possible.
</ul>

<h2>Sample problems</h2>
Sample problems you can use as the basis for your project.
<ul>
 <li><a href="http://www.math.cornell.edu/~projcalc/triangle.html">Area of Triangles</a>
 <li><a href="http://barzilai.org/z/init/activ.cartrip.oct8.html">Speed and Distance</a>
 <li><a href="http://barzilai.org/archive/lc/speedometer.html">Speedometer worksheet</a> (use this as a guide to write a presentation, don't just do the worksheet)
 <li>You can make up a practical example based on this <a href="http://barzilai.org/z/init/graphical-fprim2f.html">derivative worksheet</a>
 <li><a href="http://barzilai.org/z/init/rates.html">Balloon radius and volume</a>
 <li><a href="http://barzilai.org/z/init/save-the-pups.html">Save the Pups</a>
 <li><a href="http://barzilai.org/archive/maglev.html">Train Speed</a>
</ul>

Sample ideas for the project.
<ul>
 <li>a volume of cross section project using colored cut foam
 <li>a volume of revolution project again with foam 
 <li>cutting an eggplant into slices
 <li>cruise control and its relation to derivatives
</ul>

<h2>Grading</h2>
The grading will be based on the following
<ul>
	<li>Complexity/thoroughness</li>
	<li>Effectiveness (of communication or learning)</li>
	<li>Creativity/innovation</li>
</ul>

<h2>Tips</h2>
Create your project so it easy for someone to understand and so they learn something about calculus from it.  Edit the project so it is concise but still crystal clear.  You can include two parts to the project: explaining concepts and working an example with explanation that relates to the concepts.
<p>
Include photos, diagrams (or even related music) to make your project compelling.
