Actual maps of the Sandy Valley Local School Area. They will then either individually or in groups, estimate the distance from the proposed landfill to their home.

Students will be observed for their listening and participation in the estimation and the calculation of the miles to their home from the proposed landfill. The teacher will first post on the bulletin board a map of the school district.
