Be able to:
Determine elevation using a map
Example- Foursquare Church
Use a compass to determine bearing
Example- bearing from LAHS to Mazepa
Use a map scale to determine distance between 2 points on a map (for example if a scale is 1:24,000 and you measure 6 inches between 2 points, how many miles is that?
Use Latitude location to determine distance from Equator
Lewisburg is located at about 41 degrees North Latitude.
Distance to equator?
To North Pole?
To South Pole?
Calculate Percent Error
You estimate a container to have 50ml of water, it actually has 47ml
Calculate velocity of a stream
A leaf floats 3meters in 35 seconds
Calculate the volume of this same creek if it is 3 meters wide and 0.18 meters deep.
Be familiar with pollution tests we did on local streams
In class we have talked about 11 pollutants of water. Chose one. Write down its name and what causes it.

2
3 know the meaning of qualitative and quantitative
Calculate gradient of a stream (change in elevation divided by length of the stream)
A stream begins at 800 feet elevation and ends at 500 feet. To find it’s length, the map scale is 1:24,000 and you measure 8 inches between begin of stream and it’s end, how many miles is that?
