Trigonometry in Action - Building a Sundial
In this hands-on lesson, students from the Trigonometry class construct a sundial and see the experimental application of Trigonometry. Student will not just delve into trigonometry, but they will also see historical examples of sundials, and how mathematicians constructed sundials in 1500 BCE. The students will apply the trigonometric ratios and calculations to find the angle for the angle of latitude. Materials are provided and tested after construction.
