Grade 11 Lesson plan
Sable Crossing's Growth: Timing a Treatment Plant Expansion
A grade 11 lesson where students model a fictional town's maximum-day water demand exponentially and use logarithms to time a treatment plant expansion.
Students practice grade-level mathematics on real utility quantities such as flow rates, tank volumes, and water bills, using the same formulas that appear on operator licensing exams.
