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.

Ballooning Spider Phenomenon
Lesson Description: In this first-grade lesson, we will learn about the amazing world of spiders! We'll start by exploring the life cycle of a spider, from when it hatches to how it grows and changes
Students will create their roller coaster model, test the transfer of energy, measure the distance of how far their marble traveled and compare their distance to the distance of others. *Printable
