Process


Group Process for this Lab:
  1. Each team will divide into their home table groups.
  2. Each team decides which team members are assigned to which roles (see Team Roles) for this activity.
  3. The Team Leader enters each team member's name next to their team role on the team's blog page.
  4. The Team Leader teaches the Math Students the Pythagorean Theroem based on the lesson defined as Pythagorean Theorem Lesson via Skype.
  5. Sir Cadillac's path to his treasure has six stages of his journey (six days).  The team defines what current city landmarks, using Google Maps, are going to be the 6 waypoints of Sir Cadillac's journey.
  6. The Map Maker draws the six waypoints defined in step 3 onto a current map of the city using Google Maps and Google Sketch.  He connects the waypoints with Position Vectors by drawing arrows between the waypoints.
  7. The Mathematician converts the Map Maker's waypoints into coordinates.  The Mathematician calculates each stage's distance traveled and the total distance of the path the Team has defined.
  8. The Translator converts the path's Position Vector magnitudes and directions into Cartesian directions. These directions are entered into a log document (Google Spreadsheet in Team Folder).
  9. The directions of Sir Cadillac's paths are to be posted on your Team page on the lab's Physics Member Blog Site.
  10. The Team Leader communicates with the Math Team regarding answering their questions via their posts on the Math Member Blog Site.
  11. The Team evaluates your Math team member's map to determine if they got the map correct.
