Science Buddies: "Ask an Expert"

Hey people,

my maths teacher has given us an assignment to build a clinometer. For people who doesn't know what a clinometer is, it is a instrument for measuring angles of slope and i just want to ask if there any ideas on making one. i'm looking for a easy wat to make, but very accurate.

Thanks

Hi Helper,
If you run a google search for "how to build a clinometer" you will find many pages that describe the basic materials and procedure to get you started. It would probably not be appropriate for Science Buddies experts to provide solutions for your assignment, but if you would like to discuss some specific ideas that you have, I expect that people will be glad to help.
