Predator Drone

Think About It 1

Imagine you are playing a video game in which you are working for a military organization as a weaponized drone operator. What considerations should be made when destroying a target? What if “friendlies” or “innocents” are in the area?

Think About It 2

Generally speaking, what is the shape of the blast zone?

Think About It 3

In the video game, you accumulate points by destroying targets without collateral damage. You must program your drone strike using two variables. In your teams, discuss what variables would be important for the blast zone.

Today's Objective

Yesterday, you learned how to graph a circle given it’s equation. Today, you will need to determine the equation to use. Mr. Aguilar will provide you the requirements of the equations.
