Curated OER
Clinometer
Seventh graders build their own Clinometer and using the tangent of angles, estimate the height of trees. Then these students develop and activity to show whole class and determine the tallest tree on school property.

Lost in the City with a Clinometer
Come look at trigonometry from a different angle. To begin a simple activity, scholars view a video of someone using a clinometer to find the angle of elevation to the top of a building. They then use a diagram that shows the building's...
Curated OER
How High Is That?
Students explore the National Spatial Reference System. In this vertical position lesson, students will discuss the use of vertical position data and solve practical problems involving geographic positioning.
Curated OER
The Tangent Ratio
Students calculate the tangent ratio given a right triangle. In this trigonometry lesson, students use a right triangle and the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems.
Curated OER
Hot Air Balloon Design Lesson Plan
Sixth graders discuss what they know and what they want to know about hot air balloon using a KWL chart. They then use a wide array of materials to design a hot air balloon that will lift successfully in cooperative groups referring to...

Whatcha Gunna Do When the Hulkster's Measuring Too??
Students measure using tools they have made. For this algebra lesson, students measure the height and distance using non-traditional measuring methods. They apply their findings to algebra and trigonometry properties of measurements.
Curated OER
Landslides!
Young scholars discover soil and Earth movement by experimenting in class. In this Earth Science instructional activity, students utilize a stream table, soil, graduated cylinder and water to create a re-enactment of a landslide. Young...
Curated OER
Investigating the Soil
Students explore the Earth's crust by researching pH levels and acidity. In this environmental safety lesson, students identify the pros and cons of acidity within soil and how it affects plants. Students collaborate in a pH level...
Curated OER
Using Trigonometric Ratios
Students solve problems using sine and cosine. In this trigonometry lesson, students apply the properties of sine and cosine to solve triangular problems. They identify when to use law of sines using angle-side relationships.
Curated OER
Optional Laboratory: Measuring Tree Heights
Students work together to measure tree heights. They make predictions on what they believe the calculations are and answer questions during the experiment. They share their results with the class.
Curated OER
Optional Laboratory: Calculating Board Footage in a Tree
Middle schoolers work together to complete an experiment calculating the amount of board footage in a tree. They record their data and answer questions at the end of the lesson. They create their own hypothesis as well.
Curated OER
How Fast Does This Tree Grow?
Young scholars work together to determine how fast trees go. They make predictions and complete simple measurements. They answer questions to end the lesson.
