Map Reading Grades Focus Questions: How can longitude and latitude be used to locate a place on a map? Lesson at a Glance : Students will use the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands map to orient themselves to the points of the compass, identify the location of atolls or islands given map coordinates, and measure the distance between two points on the map. Key Concepts : Maps can be used to visualize the geography of a particular area and to determine the location of a place relative to other places. The map of the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands shows the relative position of the islands and atolls from Kaua‘i to Kure. The position of each island and atoll can be identified by using the coordinates of the map to determine its position relative to the Prime Meridan and the Equator. Degrees of longitude are measures of distance East or West of the Prime Merdian, and degrees of latitude are measures of distance North or South of the Equator. Objectives : Students will be able to: Identify the points of the compass (North, South, East, and West) on a map.

June 13, 2002 G.P.S. in the Hand: Worth It in the Bush? By BONNIE TSUI June 13, 2002 WHEN you are hiking, there is something nice about being away from the buzz of technology, enjoying the outdoors without having any superfluous equipment get in the way. The latest Global Positioning System hand-held devices propose to make finding your way home effortless. G.P.S. devices use timing signals from a network of 24 satellites to calculate the user's latitude, longitude and altitude and to provide information on how to get to where you want to be. Restrictions on the accuracy of consumer G.P.S. devices were lifted by the Defense Department, which operates the system, two years ago. As a result, the accuracy of consumer models improved from 330 feet to 30 feet under the best operating conditions. The newest G.P.S. hand-held devices can receive signals from the Wide Area Augmentation System, or WAAS, a ground- and space-based system designed for airplane guidance. WAAS signals improve accuracy to within 15 feet.

URBAN AREAS The world continues to become more urbanized each year; therefore, it is unlikely that all fighting will be done in rural settings. Major urban areas represent the power and wealth of a particular country in the form of industrial bases, transportation complexes, economic institutions, and political and cultural centers. Therefore, it may be necessary to secure and neutralize them. When navigating in urban places, it is man-made features, such as roads, railroads, bridges, and buildings that become important, while terrain and vegetation become less useful. a.

Miller supports the VA SOL's in reading, language arts, math, science, social studies, and technology. We teach the SOL's through an integrated curriculum of units that reflect Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. These units were written by faculty members and are updated as needed for alignment with the state's standards. Our school also puts major emphasis on the fine and performing arts. Reading and Language Arts A minimum of two hours a day is spent on this subject area. Our integrated curriculum is taught primarily through our large tradebook collection with the district reading series serving as resource material. We also stress the use of word walls, daily journal writing, Compass Reading, and Accelerated Reader. Math A minimum of one hour daily is spent on mathematics. Flexible scheduling allows classroom and resource teachers the opportunity to work with large and small groups of students. Math is integrated into many other areas of the curriculum such as art, science, and technology. We also use software such as Compass Math, The Learning Company Math, and MathKeys in addition to interactive sites on the Internet. Science Science is taught in the classroom by grade-area teachers and also by a resource teacher with a masters degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Our lab is fully-equipped with such items as electron microscopes and many hands-on science kits. We sponsor First Lego Robtic teams with our Mindstorm kits. Framatone engineers volunteered to work with our science teacher and Lego teams which then go on to competitions. Many of our integrated curriculum themes are science related, and are thus reinforced by other resource teachers, in addition to the science and classroom instructors. Groups of children are targeted for enrichment opportunities during the school day. A summer program and Saturday science classes are also offered in our lab. Upper unit students throughout our division receive monthly science labs from our science specialist.
