Vector Addition "Road Trip" Lab Activity
Overview:In this activity, students will use both the tip-to-tail graphing method and the analytical components method of vector addition in order to determine the resultant displacement of two, cross-country, trips which each have three individual "legs."Materials:Ruler, Protractor, Pencil, Calculator, Handout

Angle Launched Projectiles Lab Bundle
How does launch angle impact the range, hang time, and maximum height of a projectile?
Allow your students to investigate and explore angle launched projectiles with this Angle Launch Virtual Lab (which uses and online applet from PhET) and Nerf Launcher Lab (which uses Nerf guns).
Whether you use the online, face-to-face, or both versions of this lab, your students will observe and analyze how 2D vectors, component vectors, projectile motion, geometry, and trigonometry come into play for proj

Water Balloon Launcher Lab
This lab is very fun and exciting! The bonus is you get to go outdoors. You will use a standard water balloon launcher to calculate the maximum height a balloon went after being launch as well as the velocity of the balloon. There are two parts to the lab. Part 1 involves collecting data and building a graph. Part 2 is calculating velocity and maximum height. ENJOY!!

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.
NOTE: Your students will need to have access to a comp

PHET Vector Lab (Online Simulator)
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. I created this lab so that it was an electronic lab so that they could open the lab on their computers, fill out the lab in MS Word, and submit it back to me onli

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.
You'll need to set up the three challenges, two of which involve cones. (You could use any classroom ob
