Conic shapes in the real world.

Research ONE example of a conic section in real life.

Tell us in your own words about your find. Do not just make this up off the top of your head. The St Louis Arch, for example, is NOT a parabolait is an inverted catenary.

You must cite a source confirming that your example is, indeed, a conic and not some other more exotic curve.

Using a personal example (My eyebrow) will not count unless you can cite a source verifying that eyebrows are parabolic.

Examples that can’t be used because they have already been chosen by other students:

Water fountain
planetary orbits
Dulles international airport
Earths shape
Rainbows

Kobe port towers
Nuclear power plant tower
Ripples in a pool of water
