For better or for worse, here are my summer calculus student’s theatrical interpretations of related rates problems:

  1. Filling a cylinder (starring Brent)
  2. Moving Spotlight (starring Lance)
  3. Runner on a Baseball Diamond (starring Ashley and Jason)
  4. Falling Ladder (starring Ryan)
  5. Moving cars or octopii (starring Sam)
  6. Stone thrown in a Lake (starring Scott)
  7. The kite (or flying pig) problem (starring Peter and Dan)
  8. Reeling in a Fish (starring Joe)

The TV Production department at my college helped a couple of the students (recording and producing the videos in a YouTube-compatible format). The rest of the students recorded, produced, and uploaded their videos to YouTube or Screencast on their own.
