Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math What is Geocaching?

Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Standards: Measurement & Data Measurement & Data: CCSS 4.MD.1 and MD.2 Solve problems involving measurement and conversion of measurements from a larger unit to a smaller unit. CCSS 5.MD.1 Convert like measurement units within a given measurement system.

Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Standards: Geometry Geometry 7.G.1 Solve problems involving scale drawings of geometric figures, including actual lengths and areas from a scale drawing and reproducing a scale drawing at a different scale.

Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math CCSS Mathematical Practices Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. Use appropriate tools strategically. Attend to precision.

Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Literacy CCSS Literacy in SS –Integration of Knowledge and Ideas CCSS Literacy in Science and Technical Subjects –Key Ideas and Details CCSS Reading –Key Ideas and Details –Craft and Structure –Integration of Knowledge and Ideas

Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Science Standards 2014 Science and Engineering Practices 5, 6, 7, 8 P.1 The student will use the science and engineering practices, including the processes and skills of scientific inquiry, to develop understandings of science content.

Infusing a love for Science, Technology, Engineering and Math Science Standards 2014 Conceptual Understanding 5, 6, 7, 8 P.1A The practices of science and engineering support the development of science concepts, develop the habits of mind that are necessary for scientific thinking, and allow students to engage in science in ways that are similar to those used by scientists and engineers.
