Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students dr

Pythagorean Spiral Geometry Project
In a project combining high school geometry with creative design and art, students will discover connections between: Pythagorean Theorem, Special Right Triangles, Right Triangle Trigonometry, patterns, and design. This highly engaging project includes both a Pythagorean spiral creation and also requires students to show supporting math calculations to find hypotenuse lengths and central angle measures (SOH CAH TOA). This is always a favorite project of my students year after year!!A student s

Vectors Lab (Force Table) | Physics
This is not a traditional Force Vector Lab. It has a lot more emphasis on inquiry-based learning opposed to the classical labs which have lots of directions to follow and information to plug in. This lab is great because there are an infinite number of ways to solve each problem/scenario. Students will need to be creative and think for themselves in order to complete this lab. What is included (FULLY EDITABLE):Lab Worksheet - Differentiated worksheets for CP (Regular), Honors, and AP - Step-by-s

Geometry:Concurrent Points GeoGebra Activity - Circumcenter & Incenter -w/ Key
Tired of teaching the same boring lessons on Circumcenter and Incenter? After years of using the standard book resources, I decided to create this activity that demonstrates some real-life applications of these concurrent points. This product includes 9 tasks (with complete answer key and screen shots of graphics). Each task will ask students to find a real life circumcenter or incenter. (While this product did not include any centroid or orthocenter problems, I left those options on the top

High School Halloween Lesson!!!---Pumpkin Pi Math Lab
BEST HALLOWEEN MATH LESSON!I can hardly put this lesson into words! It is that good! I created this lesson years ago, and it evolves year after year. This lesson takes an investigative approach to math! Students work in groups to take measurements of pumpkins and hypothesize about the volume. The STEM investigation has students reason through the value of Pi and what the ratio represents. The lesson concludes with a discussion and conclusion page allowing students to make sense of volume and the

Bloodstain Pattern Analysis Lab: Using the Angles
This forensic science lab gives students an opportunity to learn how to find the source of blood spatters. Using a set of spatters of known size, the students will measure the width and length of each spatter, calculate the sine and then determine the angle of impact. They will use strings, raised to those angles, to find the point of convergence, which indicates where the source of blood was located.
This includes photos of the setup, the blood spatters themselves, student instructions and da

Polygon Interior Angle Sum Theorem Exploration
This is an activity for students to work through with a partner, or on their own. Students should have previous knowledge of the Triangle Sum Theorem. The activity explains to students the meaning of a diagonal and has them draw diagonals in various polygons, recording the number of triangles the polygons are split into. After completing the table, the activity asks the following questions: 1. How are the number of triangles formed related to the number of sides?2. How is the sum of the interior

Clinometer Activity - Application of Trigonometry
This is a hands-on activity I have my students do after introducing right triangle trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA). As motivation we discuss applications of trig such as forestry! I have a set of clinometers and 15 meter measuring tapes, but students can actually make their own clinometers with string and protractors! We do the two examples together in class, and then I have student practice using the clinometers. Then, they can go outside and take measurements of trees, buildings, flag poles, etc.

Clinometer Discovery Lab (Using Trigonometry)
I gave this project to both geometry and PreCalculus students. I gave them specific directions (included) on how to make a clinometer, but taught them nothing else about how to use them. They had to figure out how to use trigonometry to find the height of some objects in our commons (on a nice day, it would be awesome to go outside). Students used a lot of trial and error, and found how important it was to have an accurate diagram. I checked in frequently with each group-common errors included n

Balsa Wood Suspension Bridge
This twist on the traditional Balsa Wood Suspension Bridge, is a long-term project for either an individual or a team to complete. It successfully meets half the standards of a semester of Geometry and Physics. From researching the methods of building a bridge and the physics of wave resonance and frequencies, students design and develop their own suspension bridges, made primarily of balsa wood, to hold (by dangling) as large amount of weight as possible.
