This document outlines a lab exploring how changing the numbers in a parabolic equation affects the graph of the parabola. Students are asked to graph various parabolas with different openings, vertices, stretches, and shifts both vertically and horizontally. They are also challenged to combine transformations to a base parabola y=x^2. The goal is for students to discover they can manipulate a parabola's graph through changes to the coefficients in the standard form quadratic equation.
