| Description | Finding themselves in the middle of the Amazon rainforest after a plane crash, students use map scales, keys, and longitude and latitude coordinates to figure out where they are. They decide where they should go to be rescued, the distance to that location, the route to take, and make calculations to estimate walking travel time.
