In this learning activity you'll evaluate the six trig functions using a scientific calculator.

Formulas and Functions in Microsoft Excel

A learning object to illustrate the right way to enter formulas and functions in Excel.

In this learning object the student will learn how to measure a stain and calculate angles of impact. Determining the angle of impact for bloodstains takes advantage of the trigonometric functions (Sine function).

A mathematical relationship exists between the width and length of an elliptical bloodstain which allows for the calculation of the angle of the impact for the original spherical drop of blood.

Given well formed stains we can accurately measure the width and length by simply dividing the stain along it’s major and minor axis. The opposite halves would be generally equal to each other which aids in establishing the impact angle.

In this animated object, learners examine the switch settings for the on-delay, off-delay, and one-shot timing functions of an optical sensor. A brief quiz completes the activity.

In this interactive object, students use the Law of Sines to calculate forces.

In this interactive object, learners use the Pythagorean Theorem to calculate forces.

Learners examine how metal detectors function. This object includes animation and sound.

In this interactive object, learners use the Law of Cosines to calculate forces.

The target audience of this learning object is trigonometry students who have already learned what a radian is and have already derived the key values of the coordinates associated with common radian units, but now need to practice finding those values on the unit circle. The student does not need to know the definition of the six trig functions to do this activity.

Learners read how the transfer function for a RC high pass filter is developed. The transfer function is used in Excel to graph the Vout. The circuit is also simulated in Electronic WorkBench and the resulting Bode plot is compared to the graph from Excel.

Students read about the ENTRY, INS, and DEL keys and view a demonstration of how to edit and insert characters and recall previous entries.

Students read how the transfer function for a RC low pass filter is developed. The transfer function is used in Excel to graph the Vout. The circuit is also simulated in Electronic WorkBench and the resulting Bode plot is compared to the graph from Excel.
