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 discuss scientific advances brought about by the Mars Surveyor Space Program which impact on daily life, identify laboratory apparatus like microscopes, slides and coverslips, and use the microscopes to view cells and organisms.

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...

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.

Young scholars read an article explaining NASA's possible Mars landing sites. They use the Internet to research Mars and the Module. They are able to submit their own proposals for a landing site after researching the planet.

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 review the writings of John Lawson. Using his writings, they read comments about them to determine how his writings might have affected emigration to America. They answer discussion questions and share their answers with the...
