Guided Exploration: Trig & Inverse Trig Functions
35-item teacher-lead inquiry into properties and behavior of Trigonometric/Inverse Trigonometric Functions. Best used at the beginning of a unit on trigonometric/inverse trigonometric functions (before demonstrating how to solve textbook problems), this activity invites students to use inductive reasoning and class discussion to discover the big ideas behind graphing trigonometric/inverse trigonometric functions without a graphing utility.

Physics Lab 2 - Adding Multiple Vectors by Graphical and Analytic Methods
The best lab you can do to teach your students how to add multiple vectors by graphical and analytic method. It shows the graphical method of adding vectors in step-by-step method starting from selecting the scale.
The graphical method is followed by the analytic method in great detail. An extensive discussion is available in breaking a vector in to two components perpendicular to each other. Students usually find it difficult to break a vector in its components.
Finally, the result is verified

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!!

BUNDLE: 45-45-90, 30-60-90, CIRCLE AND SQUARE PUZZLES
A collage of a circle and a square is presented; diagonals are inserted.* A chart below the figures is given for students to fill in the measurements of each segment and/or circumference based on one given value.* The puzzle is quite the challenge, but can be a rewarding activity to complete especially if students compete with one another in class to see who can fill the table fastest and most accurately.* Additionally, the puzzle can be used as an extra credit project when they finish daily as

Accident Investigation Lab for Trig Students
A lab exercise in which students complete a simulation of investigating a vehicle accident by measuring the length of skid marks and calculating the speed of the braking vehicle. Students will measure the length using the number of revolutions and diameter of a rolling rotary device (such as sewing tracing wheel or pizza cutter.) This lab is designed for groups of 2 - 4 students and contains 5 different scenarios of the accident so different groups can analyze different situations. These mat

Hands-On Right Triangle Trigonometry
After teaching students the lesson on right triangle Trigonometry, I take my students outside for this activity which is finding the height of the school flagpole by using right triangle trigonometry. My students make the Clinometers out of protractors, straws, string, and washers, then use them to find the angle of elevation from their line of sight to the top of the flagpole. This is a great hands on lesson that helps students understand what they are actually calculating in class!

Parallax Measurements, and Determining the Distances and Heights of Objects
Embarking on an exploration into the realms of applied mathematics, this project uncovers how such mathematical principles can be utilized to determine the solar parallax of distant celestial bodies. The task set forth aims to expand students' understanding of mathematical applications within the context of real-world phenomena. By bridging the gap between abstract mathematical theory and tangible cosmic observations, the project aims to foster an appreciation for the interconnectedness of diffe
