3. Today’s Learning Goals: Discover cardinal directions through use of numbers in an engaging, relevant way. Engage in a lesson that integrates many content areas- science, math, reading, writing, and speaking. Share ideas of how we might integrate this technology into our classrooms.

4. Research- Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say Steven Reinhart - “I concluded that if my students were to ever really learn _____, they would have to do the explaining, and I, the listening. My definition of a good teacher changed from one who explains things so well that students understand to one who gets students to explain things so well that they can be understood.” Steven Reinhart - “I concluded that if my students were to ever really learn _____, they would have to do the explaining, and I, the listening.

5. Expert Groups 1- Lines of Latitude and Longitude 2- How a GPS Works 3- Other ways GPS can be used 1- Lines of Latitude and Longitude 2- How a GPS Works 3- Other ways GPS can be used

6. Latitude Lines The lines run east and west, but they measure degrees north or south of the equator. Equator 0 o

7. Longitude Lines… …run north and south. Where do all the lines meet? Instead of measuring from the equator, longitude is measured from the prime meridian, a line running through Greenwich, England. Prime Meridian – 0 o

8. A way to describe our location on the earth Tells how far north/south and east/west These are called coordinates A way to describe our location on the earth Tells how far north/south and east/west These are called coordinates Latitude/Longitude N N E E W W S S

9. By combining latitude and longitude We can pinpoint any location on Earth.

10. We identify points on the Earth by specifying how many degrees North or South (of the equator) And how many degrees East or West (of the prime meridian) the points are located.

12. There are 24 GPS satellites orbiting Earth right now. The more of them that your GPS can lock onto the more accurately your position can be determined.

13. Imagine you are somewhere in your town. You are TOTALLY lost. You ask someone, “Where am I?” They say, “You are 5 miles from the fire station.” This is nice, but it really doesn’t help you. You could be anywhere on a circle 5 miles around the fire station! Imagine you are somewhere in your town. You are TOTALLY lost. You ask someone, “Where am I?” They say, “You are 5 miles from the fire station.” This is nice, but it really doesn’t help you. You could be anywhere on a circle 5 miles around the fire station! 5 miles

14. You ask someone else where you are. They say, “You are 7 miles from the library.” If you combine this information with the fire station information, you have two circles that cross. You now know that you must be at one of these two points, if you are 5 miles from the fire station and 7 miles from the library. You ask someone else where you are. They say, “You are 7 miles from the library.” If you combine this information with the fire station information, you have two circles that cross. You now know that you must be at one of these two points, if you are 5 miles from the fire station and 7 miles from the library.

15. A third person tells you that you are 4 miles from home. This circle will only cross the other circles at one point. You know exactly where you are. The only place all these circles cross is at the school! A third person tells you that you are 4 miles from home. This circle will only cross the other circles at one point. You know exactly where you are. The only place all these circles cross is at the school!

18. How does the GPS help people on Earth?

19. GPS is used by millions of people around the world everyday. One of the earliest uses of the GPS was by the military branches. The soldier on the left is using a GPS to map a location for troops to land on a beach. Other uses by the military include tracking soldiers, vehicles, and supplies.

20. GPS is used to help locate people who have On-Star in their vehicles. On-Star is a safety and security system in cars and trucks created to connect drivers to emergency assistance and hands-free calling. Portable GPS systems are placed in vehicles to help people find their way to a destination.

21. This man is using a GPS to conduct water-typing surveys on Washington state’s Lopez and Orcas Islands. The surveys are being conducted on certain streams to determine the distribution of fish and fish habitat, and to ensure that the Island's trout and salmon streams are mapped correctly so they can receive appropriate legal protection.

22. GPS is used in boats to help in case of emergencies such as storms or engine failures.

23. GeoCACHING is a new sport that uses GPS to find hidden items or messages left by members of GeoCACHING clubs. People can look for these items if they know the latitude and longitude of the items.

24. Three Key Shifts in ELA/Literacy 1. Building knowledge through content- rich nonfiction and informational texts. 2. Reading, writing and speaking grounded in evidence from text, both literary and informational 3. Regular practice with complex text and its academic language 1.
