Graphing Sine & Cosine Investigation
Students learn so much when they discover the patterns in mathematics. This Geogebra investigation asks students to play with the values of a, b, c, and d in f(x) = a sin(bx – c) + d and g(x) = a cos(bx – c) + d individually to see the effects they have on the graphs of both sine and cosine.Students should have plotted the parent functions by creating a table of values prior to this investigation. These Vizual Notes are a great summary assignment following this investigation.If you are looking

Stellar Parallax Lab
Stellar parallax is the apparent shift of position of any nearby star (or other object) against the background of distant objects. Astronomers can calculate this shift and by using trigonometry, they can calculate the distance to that object. This lab will have your students calculating the distance to a makeshift star by using parallax angles. This file has a detailed handout that outlines this lab, cut-outs, and a detailed teacher's manual. Enjoy!

Clinometer Activity - Application of Trigonometry
This is a hands-on activity I have my students do after introducing right triangle trigonometry (SOH CAH TOA). As motivation we discuss applications of trig such as forestry! 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.
