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

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

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 Indirect Measurement Lab
MIRROR, MIRROR ON THE GROUND… What’s the tallest place around? Using a mirror placed on the ground, students will determine heights of objects that are not conveniently measured by other means and take indirect measurement from a concept into practice. The lab has clear instructions for how to execute the measurements, an example, and then templates for students to do their own measurements and computations.Teachers must have mirrors and tape measures for this lab - 1 set for each group of stud

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.

Orbital Orange: Understanding Ground Track Maps
The International Space Station circles the Earth, so why do maps of its orbit show it going up and down like a roller coaster? Do the Orbital Orange edible experiment to understand why!
Activity aids in understanding mapping from 3-D to 2-D. The Further Study questions address how ground track maps show seasonal variations in day/night portions of orbits, how launch location impacts inclination, and how spacecraft orbit the center of mass.
