Organization
❏
Students: Assign yourselves sequential numbers, beginning with number 601. Remember your
number, which will serve as both the Computer (or desk) ID number and your Student ID number. Write
the number on a sticky note, along with an “X.” Stick it on top of your computer terminal or desk.
❏
Students: Assign yourselves to teams (A, B, C, or D) with the same number of students in each team,
plus or minus one.
❏
Students: Get together with your teammates in a vacant corner of the room and decide on a plan for
accomplishing the tasks.
Environment and Measurement (Spatial Data)
❏
Use the back wall of the lab as southern latitude.
❏
Use a Cartesian coordinate system.
❏
Consider the intersection of the back wall and the “west” wall as the Cartesian point (1000,2000).
❏
For each location's easting, measure perpendicularly from the west wall to the center of the cross on
the sticky note.
❏
For each location's northing, measure perpendicularly from the south wall to the center of the cross
on the sticky note.
❏
Measure to the nearest 0.01 (one hundredth) of a foot.
