The math that gets things off the ground
3 live exhibits. Each one already works. Change a number and see what happens.
Open as board Play with these together. Solving one grows related exhibits.
- Quadratics
Throwing a ball: the quadratic arc
Every throw, jump, and fountain draws a parabola.
- Ratios & Proportions
Wire resistance: longer and thinner resist more
Resistance grows with length and shrinks with thickness. Pick the wire that keeps it low.
- Vectors
Crosswind landing: splitting the wind into two parts
Pilots break the wind into “along the runway” and “across it.” That’s vector math at 60 knots.
