HS: Collaboration with an Algebra II Teacher

[Theresa Collins <tcollins@goshenschools.org>]

I have an Algebra II teacher who would like to develop a project on =
real-life applications of conic sections - including parabolas, circles, =
ellipses, and hyperbolas.  She would also like to collaborate with me, =
and I'm excited but also not quite sure where to start.  I taught =
English and German before coming to the library, so this math material =
is not my area of expertise.  I'm also wondering about what the =
culminating project could be - maybe something other than a PowerPoint?

I'm hoping someone out there has experience with this and can steer me =
in the right direction or share some things that have worked for you.

Thanks a lot,
