Anyone have any field trip ideas for Math 10? 

If so, can you include how the content relates to the activity? Was thinking trigonometry I can incorporate in Zipline, Waterpark, or Rock climbing activities. Any one else have any ideas?

I used to do a Slope activity using the Lake Louise Ski Resort elevation changes for slope. they have Vertical descent and run length on their little handouts with the ski runs on them. Haven't actually thought of using it as a Field trip.

Hmm, also pool (as in billiards) and bowling for trig (especially if the bowling alley will let you measure the alley and some diagonals...  it would be interesting to see how such a small change in the angle of how you release the ball makes a pretty big difference in the points you get.

Could also be interesting to walk around a framed house/building.
