Got back tests, went over them with peer experts. Looked back at bacteria problem and saw how exponential growth comes from a rate being directly proportional to the amount.
Notes from board
Homework:
Watch and take notes on this video:
Worked in groups to solve slope field/tangent line/particular solution FRQ problems. Did a similar problem together to summarize the skill. Practiced translating from a written description to a differential equation. Passed out hw, started on it during class.

Thursday
Went over homework, then learned about how to apply differential equations in infection spreading, the dissipation of heat, and molecular half-lifes. AP testers worked on packet, non-testers started roller coaster project.
