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

Clinometer Discovery Lab (Using Trigonometry)
I gave this project to both geometry and PreCalculus students. I gave them specific directions (included) on how to make a clinometer, but taught them nothing else about how to use them. They had to figure out how to use trigonometry to find the height of some objects in our commons (on a nice day, it would be awesome to go outside). Students used a lot of trial and error, and found how important it was to have an accurate diagram. I checked in frequently with each group-common errors included n

Surface Area and Volume lab (Editable)
I've taught my students the formulas for the surface areas and volumes of prisms, cylinders, and cones for a long time, and yet when they are asked to apply these formulas to everyday objects (cereal boxes, soup cans, printer cartridge packages, etc.), they seem to see the formulas as alien pieces of information.
I created this hands-on lab to help them with these concepts in a physical, hands-on way. This is a challenging activity for my students, sometimes because I find a few students who d
