Students observe an activity with Jell-O to learn about optics.  In this investigative instructional activity students fill out a handout on the activity that helps them to investigate the index of refraction and the speed of...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

In this calculus worksheet, students solve values involving trigs and the unit circle. They identify graphs of sine, cosine and tangents. They solve for angles using the unit circle and the calculator.

Life comes in all different shapes and sizes, and fish are no exception. Here, young scientists create fish prints as they learn how specific characteristics allow different species to survive in their particular habitats.

Turn your class upside down as they explore the reciprocal functions. Scholars use the unit circle to develop the definition of the secant and cosecant functions. They analyze the domain, range, and end behavior of each function.

Students discuss movement of air currents and then experiment to create visible models of air currents. Students connect the model to weather patterns.

Students identify the various parts of a fish. They describe the concept of fish morphology and relate shape, form and structure of a fish's parts to function.

Fifth graders work with polygons.

Students classify the visual opacity of various materials, what is needed to create shadows, and classify clouds by the types of shadows that they produce.

Students classify clouds as transparent, translucent or opaque. They conduct an experiment to determine the visual opacity of several classroom objects and then conduct further observations of clouds.

Provides a discussion of curved mirrors and ray diagrams. Shows and explains the process of drawing a ray diagram to determine the image location, size, and orientation.

This illustrated physics tutorial serves as a step-by-step guide to drawing ray diagrams. It includes an opportunity for students to practice and check their answers.

In this physics tutorial, students investigate the method for drawing ray diagrams for objects placed at various locations in front of a concave mirror.

An illustrated tutorial which takes students step-by-step through the process of drawing ray diagrams.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson, students learn how to draw ray diagrams and to solve problems for concave and convex mirrors.
