The collection of Space lessons will take you beyond the confines of Earth into the final frontier. These activities lend themselves not only to mathematical studies but Science and other disciplines as well.
Google’s Sky, Moon, and Mars can all be accessed through Google Earth. Google Sky is a mapping of the stars and other celestial bodies. Google Moon has full satellite imagery of the moon and includes interactive layers developed with NASA. Google Mars is similar to Google Moon but it has the most current imagery. One can even view the mapping of its surface. For most of history, mathematics and science were synonymous with one another. Unfortunately, these two disciplines have been separated in school as distinct subjects. There can be no greater proof, perhaps, than mankind's achievements in space exploration to show why studies in math and science should be combined. |
