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

Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids using Nets | Hands on Activity
This product will help your kinesthetic learners make connections as they experience calculating total surface area and lateral surface area with this hands on activity. Students work in partners to determine the names of the shapes when the nets are constructed, measure the nets themselves (to the nearest half centimeter), and then calculate both the total and the lateral surface area. I have personally used this in class, even one year during a formal observation! I loved how it required my

Effects of Transformations Inquiry / Discovery Lesson
Use inquiry learning to get students to discover and describe the effects of transformations. The Effects of Transformations Discovery Lab is an engaging activity to activate prior knowledge about transformations and for students to use a discovery approach as a perfect introduction to this concept. Students will look at examples of the following transformations and write rules for the resulting figures: translations, dilations, reflections, and rotations.

Geometry - Graphing Special Lines-Parallel and Perpendicular-Two Investigations
This activity contains two investigations. First Investigation:• On the graph provided, students graph each of the pairs of points and draw a line through the pair of points.• The students study the two lines and conjecture that the two lines are parallel.• Then the students find the slope of the two given lines to notice that when the lines were parallel the slope of the two lines are equal.• Students repeat these three steps with four more points. • After students know that two parallel lines

This activity is designed to be used with a geoboard (11 x 11 pegs). An alternative for geoboards is included in this package (index size cards with 11 x 11 geoboards). Students explore the meaning of perimeter and area by constructing polygons on the geoboard with rubber bands or drawing line segments that represent the rubber bands on the index size cards. The activity can also be used with Communicator Clearboards, available from Educator's Outlet and a copy of a student grid. After the st

Moon Phases Lab & Lesson: Learning the Moon Phases & Patterns
This lab begins with a great introduction to teaching moon phases because it allows students to visually observe the changing phases of the moon as a result of the relative positions of the Earth, Sun, and Moon. Give your students this amazing EXPERIENCE that they will not forget. Don't just read about it or teach it, but let your students SEE for themselves! By the end of Day 1, students should understand why/how we have moon phases and should be able to predict the next phase in a sequence.Ma

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.
