Modeling the Business Cycle with Trig Functions: Activity and Data Set
In this lab, students analyze GDP data from five fictional countries. To complete the activity, students: -- create scatterplots of their data using desmos.com/calculator (or other graphing utility) -- use their data sets to compute the parameters of underlying sinusoidal functions and use Desmos to compare their estimates to the data sets -- interpret the parameters of their equations in context by describing how the economies of each country compare and contrast to each other. -- are challenge

Target Toss Regression Lab: Linear/Exponential/Power Models (AP Stats/Precalc)
Aim - Toss - Model: Target Toss Lab for Linear, Exponential & Power (AP Precalculus, Algebra 2, AP Statistics)Bring regression to life in AP Statistics and Precalculus with this target toss lab! Students collect real data, then compare linear, exponential, and power models using log transformations, residuals, and r². It's a hands-on, data-rich investigation. In this safe “candy toss” lab, students collect data at increasing distances, compute success rates as proportions, and use log transfo

Make Multiple Vectors Fun! Pirate Treasure Hunt - Physics, Trigonometry
This is one of my student’s favorite activities. Who doesn’t want to go outside and map out some vectors? It works well in physics or trigonometry for understanding how to add and subtract multiple vectors. 10 different maps are provided for student groups to make their way from a single point of origin to a designated, X-marks-the-spot, using compass headings of N, S, E, and W and specified distances. The groups all have a different path but end up at the same place. At the end, students d

Rotational Inertia of a Roll Of Masking Tape Lab - Honors or AP Physics
Determining the Rotational Inertia of a Roll of Masking TapeThis activity is designed for Honors or Advanced Placement Physics and can be done with nothing more than ordinary lab equipment - meter sticks, a balance, and an inclined plane (I use foam core science fair boards) and slow motion video capture software. I use Technique Hudl as an app. It’s free, easy to learn and collects data beautifully but you can use any slo-motion app you'd like or even use a stop watch though your data won't b

Ball Toss Projectile Motion Activity - On Level, Trig Based or AP Physics
This is an excellent activity to develop the mathematics of upwardly fired projectiles. It has low error, uses a free app for measuring motion and students must work as a team. Students work in groups of 4 to toss a tennis ball or similar item a horizontal distance of 4-6 meters between them and video capture the event. They then record the time data, measure the toss angle, calculate the vertical and horizontal components of motion and determine the resultant launch speed. It takes students

Drone Lab: Right-Angle Trigonometry, Law of Sines, Law of Cosines
YOU DO NOT NEED A DRONE FOR THIS LAB!!! This lab actually has two separate folders: one for teachers who have access to a drone (or even a helium balloon that is tied to a kite string!) and one for teachers with no drone. Any way you do it, you get a customized lab, designed to help your students use right-angle trig, law of sines, and law of cosines in real-world situations. If you are droneless, the whole simulation is set up for you. You can choose whatever drone heights you like and ente

Pringles Ring Physics Challenge
This super fun engineering activity only takes one class period to complete – 55 minutes. There is some real math with this as well. I used this as my physics final this year. This is a terrific activity to reinforce engineering concepts and could really be put anywhere in your IPC, physics, engineering, or physical science class Students work in pairs or alone to build a vertical ring out of Pringles Chips/Crisps with a minimum diameter of 12.0 cm and the least number of chips possible.
