In this activity, students' will record the x- and y-coordinates of a rod moving in a figure-eight pattern. They will then use the recorded motion information to separately model the x- and y-motion as a function of time. They will plot the experimental data in a y versus x graph and the x- and y-models parametrically for comparison to the experimental data.
