Leaf Measurement, Identification and Nature of Science Activity
This activity asks students to find a leaf and Identify it through the gathering of information. Students will need to bring in a leaf (or the teacher can gather leaves for students to choose from). Students will work on their measurement and observation skills as they gather information on the Leaf. They will create a leaf rub by placing the leaf under a page of the lab and rubbing it with a colored pencil or crayon. Students will use apps or websites to identify the leaf. They will then use th

Why Do Leaves Change Color in the Fall? - Lab
Have you ever wondered why leaves change color in the fall? In this lab, your students can learn the science background behind WHY it happens and perform an experiment to extract the colors "hidden" in leaves. This Paper Chromatography Lab has been a favorite of all my students for almost 15 years. We perform it every fall and they LOVE the results! This set includes a step - by - step procedure, lab sheets, and background information.

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.

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
