Outside Demonstration
Part of Lesson Plan: Measuring and Evaluating Slope
Activity Overview / Details
Now it is time to go outside and have student volunteers man the tools as I talk them through the procedures. Have a 50 foot tape measure, at least 50 feet of string, and a bubble level. It is helpful to have an area close by to avoid having to spend a lot of time walking from the classroom and then returning.
Do the slope measurement in several places in order to compare the slope. As the measurements are being taken, reinforce terminology and proper handling of tools. Ask if there are other ways to determine slope.
Once the students have seen how to measure the slope several times, question the class to check for understanding.
