Model Connections: Investigating the relationships between the math and symbolic models of Oscillating Systems.

  1. Collect a set of mathematical models such that two of the symbolic model parameters are held constant while the third is varied. 
  2. Determine a relationship between the varied parameter and the mathematical model.  Follow the format below to assist in this task.

 

For the set of models you’ve collected, state the symbolic

parameter that is varying

 

                                         ___________________________


List observations about the mathematical models.  How are they changing? Can you see a

relationship between the changes in the mathematical model and the varying symbolic

parameter?

 

 

Create a table of data which compares the changing parameters of both model types

Mathematical model parameter

Symbolic Model parameter

Another column if you think you need it

Show any calculations and/or list observations about the data in these tables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make a final succinct conclusion about data you have analyzed above.
