Eisco Garage Physics Trigonometry Exploration Puzzle Set

<b>The Eisco Garage Physics line is aimed at students interested in STEM concepts included physics and engineering. Each kit engages learners to discover new ideas about the physical world through assembly and play.</b><br>Trigonometry finds its roots in the simplest of shapes – the circle. All of the essential trigonometric functions can be understood in the geometry of the circle. And trigonometric functions are ubiquitous in STEM fields. They are everywhere! From architecture to quantum mechanics and everywhere in between. This kit allows students to use their hands to explore the basic definitions and relationships of the trigonometric functions through simple wooden blocks. The kit covers sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, and cosecant, the 30-60-90 triangle and the 45-45-90 triangle. It also includes Kepler’s triangle which allow students to explore the Golden ratio and the Fibonacci numbers as well as the defining property of the radian unit of angular measure. Students can even use the kit to come up with their own approximation for the value of π .<br>Kit includes unit circle block, 6 triangle blocks (three 30-60-90 triangles, two 45-45-90 triangles, and Kepler’s triangle), 2 circular sectors: a 1 radian sector and a 2 radian sector, set of stickers for labeling the blocks, ball-point pen, cardboard storage box and instructions for assembly and experimental activities.
