Students,
Today we practiced our mastery of location, both absolute and relative. Remember absolute location is an exact location (latitude / longitude coordinates, a street address, even your desk number in my room), while relative location is the place or objects location in relation to another thing (North of Seguin, next door to sally, underneath the projector)
We practiced these skills by tracking the paths of two hurricanes, Sandy and Katrina. We discussed why it is important to be able to track hurricanes through means like satalites, radar, and other high tech devices; but we realized that without longitude and latitude the actual location of disasters like hurricanes would be difficult to pinpoint.
I hope you enjoy your labor day weekend, do not come into school on Monday...nobody will be there, and you will feel silly.
Homework: All periods, if you did not finish your hurricane tracker hand-out it became homework.
