Extractions: UbD (Understanding by Design) Lesson Plan Math (Geometry, 6 th Grade) Established Goals: (M6G1) Students will further develop their understanding of plane figures. (M6P1) Using appropriate technology, students will solve problems that arise in mathematics and in other contexts. (M6P5) Students will create and use pictures, manipulatives, models, and symbols to organize mathematical ideas. Understandings: objects may or may not have line and/or rotational symmetry. scale drawings are related to real-world similar plane objects that are large or small. scale provides a mechanism by which we can solve problems related to large or small real-world objects. Essential Questions: Why is it important to understand symmetry? Why are plane figures important in the real world? How are scale drawings related to similar plane figures? How can you represent a large image in a smaller proportion? To what extent do professionals use scale to analyze real-world extremely large or microscopic objects?

CAP Scrapbook T he CAP for Teachers program is designed not only to offer educators hands-on experience in archaeology but also to give participants creative ideas using archaeology which they can use to fulfill curriculum needs. The broad range of skills that professional archaeology requires makes it a rich field that teachers can harvest for activities and lessons directed toward a broad range of subject areas. P ast CAP for Teacher participants have reaped the benefits of applying archaeology in the classroom using it to enhance skills related to critical thinking, multiculturalism, writing, mathematics, art and other areas of science. Because of these successes, some of our CAP teachers have offered to share their ideas with others who might also serve to benefit from incorporating archaeology into the classroom.

Using a simple vector analysis routine and the PORTS wind and current data, a trajectory for the spill was calculated using wind direction as a cardinal direction, wind speed in knots, current direction in degrees true, and current speed in meters per second. At each hour, speed and direction for the oil movement were computed based on these data using a generic Minerals Management Service algorithm.
