The
purpose
of
this
resource
is
to
introduce
students
to
the
concept
that
sometimes
there
is
no
one
"right"
answer
to
a
question
or
measurement.
Students
learn
to
be
careful
when
searching
for
a
right
answer
to
questions
such
as
'What
time
is
it?'
by
comparing
multiple
measurements
of
the
time
of
day.
Students
gain
an
intuitive
understanding
of
the
characteristics
of
imperfect
measurements.

The purpose of this resource is to learn about latitude and longitude while developing math skills. Students begin by asking the simple question: 'Where Am I?' Then they learn about the magnetic Earth and the use of compasses and angles. Students also learn about the difference between relative and absolute locations. Throughout this activity, students practice using a variety of math skills.

In this lesson plan students learn about the varying sizes of ocean waves, what causes the variation, and where to find giant waves. Students will learn the parts of a wave, and discuss wave height, wavelength, and wave period. They will experiment with creating waves on the National Geographic Wave Simulator and discuss how geography affects waves.
