In this sun clinometer worksheet, students build a sun clinometer using a protractor, thread, straw, cardboard and a paper clip. They are graded using a rubric on their clinometer and they answer questions about the structure of their...

In this clinometer learning exercise, students answer questions about a clinometer and what it is used for. They also list ways to improve their clinometers.

In this clinometer worksheet, students measure the altitude of ten objects using a clinometer. They answer questions about calibrating a clinometer and measuring with a clinometer.

In this azimuth and altitude worksheet, students answer questions about celestial bodies and how they are measured. They label drawings of clinometers, celestial spheres, and a compass.

Students explore the National Spatial Reference System. In this vertical position lesson plan, students will discuss the use of vertical position data and solve practical problems involving geographic positioning.

Students problem-solve how to log five acres. Working in pairs, they construct models of logging sites before and after the trees are harvested. they paint their models and include other environmental details.

The Kuril islands stretch from Japan to Russia, and the ongoing dispute about their jurisdiction prevents many scientific research studies. Scholars learn to create a topographic profile of a specific area around their schools. Then they...

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...

High schoolers list four ways to identify trees. In this tree identification instructional activity, students use tree identification techniques such as leafs, bark, wood grain, soil type, and climate to create tables and graphs.

Young scholars examine how trees are measured and the different methods used.  In this density lesson high schoolers divide into groups and practice the different methods.

Students discover soil and Earth movement by experimenting in class.  In this Earth Science lesson, students utilize a stream table, soil, graduated cylinder and water to create a re-enactment of a landslide.  Students simulate...

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...

Learners 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.

Students 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.

Students work together to determine how fast trees go. They make predictions and complete simple measurements. They answer questions to end the lesson.

This project resulted from the collaboration of a computer aided drafting teacher (pre-engineering), Chris Bond, and a math teacher, Lee Cable, (Hewitt-Trussville High School) to provide higher math expectations in CT and real life...
