Students practice various equations for constructing nine-point circles for triangles.

Mrs. Flynt has designed a 12-day moon observation activity that is best assigned when daylight hours are shorter. Middle school moon experts record several factors, including the altitude above the horizon, the azimuth, the phase, and...

Eighth graders explain the relationship between the position of the sun, a city's latitude and shadow length. Ratio's, geometry, and algebra are used to determine the shadow lengths and building heights. A sun angle (altitude) charts to...

In this parts of similar triangles worksheet, 10th graders solve 6 different problems related to determining the value of various parts of similar triangles. First, they find the value of x in the 2 figures shown. Then, students find the...

Logical thinking is at the forefront of this jam-packed lesson, with young mathematicians not only investigating geometric concepts but also how they "know what they know". Through each activity and worksheet, learners wrestle with...

Students identify the special segments of triangles, the median, angle bisector, altitude, and perpendicular bisectors.

Students research and trace Shackleton's actual and intended route on an area map. They analyze the altitude changes involved in a trek across Antarctica and complete a worksheet comparing Antarctica to their own state.

In this gravity learning exercise, students solve four problems including calculating masses of planets, determining forces of asteroids on traveling spaceships, and determining the altitude where the acceleration of gravity is equal to...

For this triangles worksheet, students identify the median, altitude, segment, angle bisector, perpendicular bisector and triangle midsegment of triangles.  They find the perimeter of triangles.  This three-page worksheet...

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the midpoints of polygons using coordinate pairs. They find the  angle bisector, altitude and median of the given triangles. There are 33 questions.

In this isolines worksheet, students are given a series of numbers representing altitudes and they draw the isolines for 50 foot intervals. Students determine gradients between given points on the map.

What are the basics for building a rocket out of a two-liter bottle? The procedures outline the basics to create an air- and water-powered bottle rocket. Prior to launching the rockets, teams perform safety checks to ensure their designs...

Students calculate the solution using half angles formulas. In this calculus lesson, students identify the different properties of a triangle using trigonometric properties. They identify the mean, altitude and angles of a triangle.

Students define important vocabulary words using a dictionary. In this geometry lesson, students identify and use properties of triangles to solve problems. They identify the median. altitude and angles as well as properties of...

Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry lesson, students use the properties of triangles to solve problems. They identify the median, altitude and side vs angle relationship.

High schoolers identify different angles. In this geometry lesson, students identify different properties of triangles. They find the altitude, median and angle bisector.

Students solve problems with isosceles triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify and use the properties of triangles to solve their problems. They find the median, altitude, and angles to the triangles.

Pupils solve problems involving triangles. In this geometry lesson, students use the properties of triangles to find the angles and side. They identify the median and altitude of the triangle.

Students discover how rockets can reach a higher altitude by using staging. They use balloons to demonstrate this concept and then practice with rockets. They discuss the results to end the lesson plan.

Students explain that air pressure applies a force. If any of students have flown in an airplane, they have felt the "popping" of their ears caused by the change in atmospheric pressure because of the altitude changes.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders examine the special segments that occur in a triangle.  The three page worksheet contains twenty-five problems.  Answers are not included. 

Pupils compare rates to altitude. They conduct a class discussion about the results.

Meteorology learners explore the weight of air, layers of the atmosphere, and air pressure action through a series of discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on group activities. Enough discussion prompts, background information, student...

Live Strong! High schoolers will discuss some of the reasons behind Lance Armstrong's success in cycling and chart those reasons into four categories: Physiology, Psychology, Equipment, Training/Strategy. They will then choose one sport...
