Exploring Ecosystems Lab
Students are asked to explore their local flora and fauna - either on school grounds or as part of a field trip to a preserve. The questions ask students to look at different aspects of the ecosystem they live in, in more detail than they have done before. I ask students to do "random sampling" (some near the parking lot, some in the preserve, she by the river bank, etc.) and create a poster of what was found in their area. This can be used as an intro to an ecology unit, or just to explore

Concept Comparison: The Zodiac Constellations of the Ecliptic
The twelve constellations of the zodiac are important! Not because they predict our luck, love, health, and wealth, but because they are a great teaching tool to understand the motions of the Earth around the Sun. This Concept Comparison helps contrast the zodiac signs, derived from the constellations along the sun’s path in the sky. The star patterns along the ecliptic help Ss track the orbit and wobble of Earth. And they remind us of astronomy’s humble roots, from ancient cultures that have dr

Solving Triangles using Excel (Editable)
I think that when we use technology in the classroom with our students, we should teach them to use technology as a tool. One of the best applications for using a spreadsheet in class is in the solution of triangles. After my students have mastered the laws of sines and cosines with handheld calculators, and are familiar with the ambiguous case, I have them redo the same problems using excel.
It is a very challenging activity for them.

I created this lab as an intro into two dimensional motion for my physics classes. The lab uses all the techniques of adding vectors head-to-tail and demonstrates for them that the two vectors being added to make a resultant are the components of that resultant. This lab is great practice and very self-explanatory for grades 11 and 12.

Trig in the Tower Day (Using Trigonometry in the Real World) (Editable)
After weeks of doing right-triangle trigonometry, I find that my "best" trigonometry students struggle to apply what they learned to an outdoor setting. I wrote this activity so that students would have a chance to calculate the height of a school building tower. At some schools, I have called this "Trig in the Trees" day, since it often involves determining the height of a tree on campus.
