Description | In the continuing (hypothetical) asteroid impact scenario, students use the provided maps with scales to measure distances and areas, towards finding possible locations for underground caverns to house the Alabraska population. Continuing the Asteroid Impact challenge, students learn how to determine map distances and areas using map scales. They get a feel for how much an area represents on a map in relation to the sizes they are suggesting for their underground caverns to shelter the Alabraska population. |
