MYP 5 students made a clinometer as part of their trigonometry unit and then used it to measure the heights of things around school. They first started with the height of the door (known to be 7ft) to get an idea about how heights are calculated. They then moved around the building and calculated the heights of objects (like the wooden horse) and the swings in Primary park. The actual heights were then measured using a tape and then the error calculated. The students reflected on the activity. I am enclosing some pictures and student work with this mail.
