Buying an Automobile Unit (PBL)
1, Research passenger vehicles of your choosing. Narrow your choices to one make and model with no more than three years difference in production year. For example, you may choose a Ford Fusion between the years 2007-2009. If the car comes in various grades, you must research the same grade. For instance, Honda Civics often come in LX or EX models. You must choose one model grade. The automobile must be used and common. You must find 15 vehicles of the same make, model, and years (year span not to exceed three years). If you cannot find at least that many vehicles within reasonable driving distance, then you must choose a different vehicle.
You will be expected to navigate Microsoft Word and Excel. Students will merge all documents into one electronic portfolio for submission at the end of the unit. The final project will include applicable concepts from science, consumer economics, personal finance, mathematics, and writing. Students will:
1. Use mean, median, mode and range to determine best value of a group of similar automobiles
2. Use box-and whisker plots to represent data pictorially
3. Determine either linear or exponential depreciation (differentiated)
4. Apply risk analysis to questions of automobile insurance
5. Apply mathematical concepts to accident investigations
6. Predict cost of ownership
7. Calculate payments and costs of loans
8. Synthesize all data to determine which car is the best value and personal fit
9. Merge all documents (assignments, presentations including written analysis of the data)
CHECKPOINT- By April 11, you should have completed the used car spreadsheet and the three word docs found below in their entirety. Also, you should have turned in a box and whisker plot using the price data from your spreadsheet.
