Group Process for this Lab:
- Each team will divide into their home table groups.
- Each team decides which team members are assigned to which roles (see Team Roles) for this activity.
- The Team Leader enters each team member's name next to their team role on the team's blog page.
- The Team Leader teaches the Math Students the Pythagorean Theroem based on the lesson defined as Pythagorean Theorem Lesson via Skype.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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).
- The directions of Sir Cadillac's paths are to be posted on your Team page on the lab's Physics Member Blog Site.
- The Team Leader communicates with the Math Team regarding answering their questions via their posts on the Math Member Blog Site.
- The Team evaluates your Math team member's map to determine if they got the map correct.
