Process


Group Process for this Lab:
  1. Each team will divide into their assigned groups.
  2. Each team decides which team members are assigned to which roles (see Team Roles) for this activity. The team leader enters the names of the persons assigned to each roles in their team's blog page.
  3. The team participates in a lesson about the Pythagorean Theorem that is given by your Physics Student mentors via a Skype session. The team leader downloads the Guided Notes for the lesson from your Physics Student mentor's Google Documents folder. Team completes Guided Notes during lesson and team leader uploads to their team's Google Documents folder.
  4. The team's Translator acquires the translated directions created by the history scholars (the Physics Students) from that Physics team's blog page.
  5. The Translator translates those directions into side lengths of right triangles (six...for each stage of the path) that the Mathematician will use to perform the necessary calculations. 
  6. The team's Mathematician will calculate the path's waypoint Cartesian coordinates and path stage distances based on the information from the team's Translator.
  7. The Mathematician will organize the waypoint and distance information so that the Team Leader can enter it into the team's worksheet located in the team's Google Documents folder.
  8. The Map Maker draws and overlays on a current map of the city the six waypoints and the path as defined by the Mathematician's calculations in step 7 using Google Maps and Google Sketch. The Map Maker connects the path's waypoints by drawing arrows on the map in between the waypoints and pointed in the direction of travel.  
  9. The Team Leader uploads and submits the Map Maker's map to the team's Google Documents folder so that the Physics Students can check it for correctness.
  10. The Team Leader communicates with the Physics Team Mentor regarding answering their team's questions and providing updates on their progress in solving the problem via the comment posts on the Math team's blog page.
