A Watched Cup Never Cools: Lab Activities for Calculus and Precalculus by Ellen Kamischke. 104 pages. For grades 10-12. This book provides 10 motivating activities that bring calculus concepts to life. Students explore the rate of change of the volume of a sphere by sucking on a Tootsie® Roll Pop. They "watch" a cup of hot liquid cool to room temperature to observe the temperature's rate of change. They use a topographical map to compute the volume of water in a lake and then determine how quickly, or slowly, a pollutant will be eliminated from water given the water flow into and out of the lake. They can use graphing calculators, electronic data-gathering devices, and dynamic geometry software, when available, to investigate functions, continuity, critical points, and limits. Many activities are appropriate as group investigations, and students learn how to present results in a lab report format.

Also included in the book are 11 writing assignments that encourage students to think about the way in which calculus and precalculus concepts relate to their lives and the world around them.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
You can fax your purchase orders to 805-237-8639, but it's good to follow up with a phone call in a couple of days to make sure we got it, if you did not receive a delivery confirmation email. Please include an email address with your purchase order in case we have questions and so we can send your delivery confirmation number to you. You can also attach a signed purchase order to an email.

We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway. We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that.
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
