Quizz
1. Chemistry – Cooling of a Liquid
A cup of tea is initially at 90°C and cools down in a room with a constant temperature of 20°C. The temperature decreases rapidly at first and then more slowly over time. Which type of function best models this process?
2. Biology – Population Growth

3. Physics – Height of a Thrown Ball
A ball is thrown upward from the ground. Its height increases, reaches a maximum point, and then decreases back to the ground. Which function best models the height of the ball over time?
4. Geography – Tides at the Seaside
The water level at a seaside location rises and falls repeatedly during the day due to tides. Which type of function best models the water level over time?
5. History – Spread of a Historical Innovation
