There is also an opportunity for a wide range of mathematical investigation. The projects require finding the local latitude and longitude, and developing some skills in making comparisons based on this data. After reading about these options and planning with your class, use this form to enter data for both projects. Thanks to all of you in cyberspace who have helped us with information from previous projects and general advice on network collaboration. The Earth Planet Profile Page from JPL includes recognized data of size of the earth.
Several programs allow calculating distance given longitude and latitude.
