About this activity

A real-time 3D simulation connecting periodic circular motion to sinusoidal functions y = a sin(k(x - d)) + c for whole-class exploration.

What students learn

  • Extract amplitude, vertical shift (midline), period, and phase shift from observed physical rotation
  • Formulate sinusoidal equations in both sine and cosine forms to model periodic phenomena
  • Predict heights at arbitrary future time intervals using the derived algebraic model
