Students explore how to use trigonometry in the aviation field.  For this aviation lesson students complete trigonometry equations that show what planes should do to land their airplanes.

Emerging engineers perform pre-lab calculations in this first of a three-part lesson on model building. They determine the forces of tension and compression in a truss. After completion of the worksheet, pupils will draw a draft of their...

Students design and build their own truss. For this physics lesson, students calculate the forces and maximum load. They complete a full scale diagram of their design.

Students use math to help them discover the movement of a pendulum.

Students apply their math skills to develop an accurate estimate of the height of a tall tree. Three different methods are outlined. All grade levels should be able to perform the shadow method and the proportional method.

Students explore velocity and trajectory. Using exterior ballistics rules, students predetermine the path of an artillery shell. Given equations and the firing angle, students determine the velocity and horizontal travel. Students...
