Students interpret NASS data to determine loss or gain of farm land and compare land in production and crop production over a 50 year period.

Students investigate surveys as it relates to chains and links. In this math instructional activity, students relate math to history and surveys done above, below and on the earths' surface. They review vocabulary pertaining to this...

Students research how engineers and scientists generate linear and angular measurements with geometry to survey the Earth and Mars. They assess how geometric shapes affect navigation. A surveyor comes to the classroom and explains how he...

Learners investigate surveying in this secondary mathematics lesson plan. They will explore a real world application of geometry and trigonometry as they create a plot plan using a geometry utility and calculate the area of the land parcel.

Students apply knowledge of soil, environmental impacts, economics, multiple human demands, and use given data for a proposed scenario in making land use decisions. They debate land use issues and/or scenarios and discuss a case study.

Students examine various ecosystems using scientific inquiry. Using the local area, they assess the characteristics and conditions in one square meter. They report their findings in the form of a survey map and data sheet. They...

Students observe how math is important in navigation and engineering. They study how surveyors use math and science to calcute, count, measure, label, and indicate distances on a map. They estimate specific distances.

Students collect and analyze data correctly. In this statistics lesson, students use central tendencies to analyze collected data. They calculate where a wind farm will be placed, based on the data.

Students investigate proofs used to solve geometric problems. In this geometry lesson, students read about the history behind early geometry and learn how to write proofs correctly using two columns. The define terminology valuable to...

Students discover new ways to preserve the ecosystem by completing graphic organizers.  In this environmental lesson, students read an article from the Natural Inquirer in small groups and fill out a graphic organizer based on the...

High schoolers investigate trends in agriculture.  In this secondary mathematics activity, students evaluate agricultural census data from 1982 to 2202 as they compare the properties of the mean and the median.  High schoolers...

Students excavate an artifact. In this archaeology lesson, students get a bucket filled with dirt and a broken up artifact. They work in groups to take it out and to find what its purpose was.
