Description
27 page booklet comprised of 8 lessons and section on California standards
1 Hemispheres & Wedges
Students will be using circular and spherical terms such as radius, diameter, circumference, great circle, partial spherical wedge, spherical wedge and hemisphere. They will be finding the measurements, area or volume of these terms.
#2 Spheres & Rectangular Solids
Students will measure angles and lengths of a partial spherical wedge. They will use these measurements to determine the surface area and volume of a sphere. Students will apply this information into rectangular solids.
#3 Design a Home using Domes & Hemispheres
Students will visualize relationships between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. They will apply geometric concepts in modeling situations. Students will use a real-life and mathematical problem involving angle measure, length, area, and surface area.
#4 Global Navigation Concepts & Principles
Students will see the locations that Sir Francis Drake visited during his circumnavigation of the earth. They will estimate locations graphically using logical reasoning.
#5 Great Circles
Students will be using circular and spherical terms such as minor arc, major arc, great circle, and hemisphere. They will be finding the measurements and lengths of these terms. Students will visualize relationships between two dimensional and three-dimensional objects
#6 Angles
Students will measure angles on the sphere and draw great circles with respect to the equator. Students will develop an understanding between two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects.
#7 Latitude, Longitude & Antipodes
Students will develop an understanding of latitude, longitude & antipodes. They will plot and label locations using mathematical and geographical terms.
#8 Determining Distance & Position
Students will plot and label locations using geographical terms. They will find the distance and bearing between cities.
#9 List of California Earth Science curriculum standards which can be addressed in the
classroom using a Real World Globe.
