The main lesson addresses these academic content standards:
DCCS1, CS3, CS5
History
Scientific, Technological and Economic Change, Content Standard 3: Students recognize scientific, technological and economic changes and understand how they have affected societies, culture and politics throughout history. Grade 5: The student identifies inventions that revolutionized exploration.
Mathematics
Number & Operations, Content Standard 1: The Student interprets multiple uses and forms of numbers and how they relate to each other. By the end of Grade 3, the student will describe and use the relationships between addition and subtraction.
Measurement, Content Standard 5: The student selects and uses appropriate tools and units for systems of measurement. Grade 4: The student uses basic ways of estimating and measuring the size of figures and objects in the real world, including length, width.
MD1.0, 1.1.5.3,3.0, 3.3.4, 4.0, 4.1, 4.1.3.4
Social Studies
Social Studies Skills (1.0): Students will demonstrate an understanding of historical and current events using chronological and spatial thinking, develop historical interpretations, and frame questions that include collecting and evaluating information from primary and secondary sources. At the end of grade 5, students know and are able to: 1.1.5.3 find, interpret, and organize primary and secondary sources of information including pictures, graphics, maps atlases, artifacts, timelines, political cartoons, videotapes, journals, and government documents.
Geography (4.0): 4.1 Students demonstrate understanding of the purpose of and are able to use and construct maps, globes, and other geographic tools to acquire, process, analyze, and report geographic information about people, places and environments. At the end of grade 3, students know and are able to: 4.1.3.4 explain why some locations are better than others for specific human activities.
Mathematics
Knowledge of Measurement (3.0): Students will identify attributes, units, and systems of measurments and apply a variety of techniques, formulas, tools and technology for determining measurements. By the end of grade 3, students know and are able to: 3.3.4 use length, capacity, weight, temperature, and time to solve problems.
VA3.5, 3.8, 3.14, 4.2
History and Social Science
Geography, Grade 3:3.5: The student will distinguish between meridians of longitude and parallels of latitude and use the equator and prime meridian to identify the Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western hemispheres.
Virginia Studies, Grade 4:4.2: The student will use the concepts of absolute location and relative location to locate and identify on maps and globes his/her local city or county, Virginia, the other original states, the United States, Western Europe and West Africa.
Mathematics
Computation and Estimation, Grade 3:3.8 The student will solve problems involving the sum or difference of two whole numbers, using various computational methods, including calculators, paper and pencil, mental computation and estimation.
Measurement, Grade 3:3.14 The student will estimate and then use actual measuring devices with metric and U.S. Customary units to measure length, liquid volume and weight/mass.
