I am trying this out this year (12-13) with some modifications with my Pre-Calculus class. I sent them the assignment today (mid-August) prior to school starting in September as a summer project. I plan to build upon it with functions, linear/non linear discussions, etc.

I plan on posting the good/bad of the project on my blog, 21stmathteacher.blogspot.com. My hope this year is to get it going and refine the project (just gotta try it, refine it — I never wait for perfect or even good).

It is a great idea, thanks for sharing.

Also, how big of a hot water tank do you have? How many hot showers can you take compared to hot baths? At what point is the hot water used up? I would also like to know how long I can leave the faucet on without overflowing the tub. I would love to see some water displacement action as well. We have eight people in our family, and 3 of the family members take baths, so these are all wonderings I’ve often had.

As a consequence, I think it might take people a few ticks too long to figure out what’s going on, and by then the video is over.
