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.

Students will explore the concepts of sound and rhythm through a STEM-focused lesson plan that integrates science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) with music. Students will engage in hands-on
This lesson was designed because students love to compete, and it primes them to use the Engineering Design process to build a boat and revise their design as needed. Students must use at least one
This hands-on lesson helps students understand the properties of 3D solids from their 2D base shapes and teaches them how to use CAD software to build their own 3D models of real-world objects by
