Introduce the concepts of classification of objects such as pencils, marbles, rocks, etc. Students will develop classification categories for chosen material. Discuss the connection between math and science. Students will measure a 5 meter by 5 meter plot. Use a compass and measuring tape to move 5 meters in a cardinal direction.
North is suggested.
Place a second marker at the end of this transect. Tie a string to both markers. This forms one side of the site plot. This will result in a right angle. Follow the meter stick with a sting and measuring tape for 5 meters.
