Pre-Calculus/Trigonometry students in Mrs. Phyllis Weis’ classes worked all week on a project showing the graphs of sine and cosine functions using uncooked spaghetti noodles. 

However, the project did have a twist: upon completion, students were to present to a class and a teacher of their choosing who was not Mrs. Weis.  On Monday, several groups with completed projects went out of the classroom to present them to other classes as the rubric required. 

One group, consisting of juniors Joey Reynebeau, Luis Ramirez, Miriam Mercado, and senior Orben Olson, presented their projects to Mrs. Lael Lynch’s sixth period Chemistry class. 

“It was kind of awkward presenting to the class because sine and cosine are kind of hard to explain, and then they asked a question like what we need sine or cosine for [in the real world] and honestly I don’t know what it’s used for in the real world,” said Reynebeau after presenting to a mostly uniterested class of students.

The classes aren’t done presenting yet, but if lucky, one might see some anxious Pre-Cal students interrupting class to tell about the joys of sine and cosine.
