Location: Henry Clay		This is something I have working on to demonstrate an Inverse Variation relationship. It is a balance where you are given a weight at a set distance from the fulcrum on one side and the object is to balance the weight by adjusting the weight and the distance from the fulcrum on the other side. Click on the up/down arrows to adjust the weight (1 to 20) and click and drag on the hook at the top of the weight to adjust the distance from the fulcrum. The results are listed in a table form and on a graph.
It is a work in progress so feedback would be appreciated.

Location: Henry Clay		I got to see it on Steve's Smart Board - pretty cool.
Whoever put the Habitat for Humanity worksheet in the Ch 9 ALG folder on inverse variation - good job! What a great application problem.
