Description :
Experimental learning is long term learning and highly engaging as children love to do the activity themselves and learn in the process of doing so.
Students of grade X engaged themselves in using the Clinometer to determine the height of the school building and the school main gate. A clinometer is a simple yet effective tool that helps determine the angle of elevation or depression between the user and a specific object, such as a building. By combining this angle with some trigonometry, students can calculate the building~s height without physically scaling the structure. This engaging and hands-on activity not only introduced students to basic trigonometry but also instilled a deeper appreciation for mathematics and its real-world applications.
The students made their own clinometers to be used for the experiment. They used the various trigonometric ratios and successfully calculated the height of the school building and the school main gate. They have learned the practical application of mathematical concepts and enhanced their critical thinking skills. It encourages the students to apply trigonometry to other real-life scenarios, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for mathematics beyond the classroom. It was a joyous and enriching experience for the students.
