After this lesson, students will be able to meet the following National Standards:
(These standards come from the McREL
Web site at www.mcrel.org/standards/.
More information about standards and standards-based education can be found
there.)
1. Science Standard 17: Understands the nature of technological design.
A. Identifies appropriate problems for technological design (e.g., identifies a specific need, considers its various aspects, considers criteria for a suitable product).
2. Science Standard 18: Understands the interactions of science, technology,
and society.
A. Knows that technology is essential to science because it enables observations
of phenomena that are far beyond the capabilities of scientists due to factors
such as distance, location, size, and speed.
3. Geography Standard 1: Understands the characteristics and uses
of maps, globes, and other geographic tools and technologies.
A. Knows the purposes and distinguishing characteristics of different map
projections, including distortion on flat map projections.
B. Uses thematic maps (e.g., patterns of population, disease, economic features,
rainfall, and vegetation).
C. Knows the advantages and disadvantages of maps, globes and other geographic
tools to illustrate a data set (e.g., data on population distribution, language
use patterns, and energy consumption at different times of the year).
D. Knows the characteristics and purposes of geographic databases (e.g., databases
containing census data, land use data, and topographic information).
E. Knows the characteristics and uses of geographic technologies (e.g., geographic
information systems (GIS) and satellite-produced imagery).
4. Mathematics Standard 6: Understands and applies basic and advanced
concepts of data analysis and distributions.
A. Collects and organizes simple data sets to answer questions.
