Lesson Plan: Measuring Angles Physics
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to correctly use protractors to measure angles.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- state which objects or instruments can be used to accurately measure angles (a protractor),
- use both a protractor and a protractor correctly to measure angles,
- identify when a protractor or a protractor has been used incorrectly to measure an angle and how.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- adding and subtracting integers,
- adding and subtracting decimals,
- what angles are,
- degrees.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- instruments other than a protractor and a protractor,
- measuring angles to a resolution smaller than ,
- measuring angles in units other than degrees,
- measuring other quantities,
- trigonometry.
