Publisher's Synopsis
This simulation is uniquely appropriate for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) initiatives. And it's great fun!Students will use algebraic thinking, data analysis and the engineering design process to solve problems in real-world settings.
In Amazon Mission, students help a native village surmount malaria, and confront the environmental hazards of gold-mining. Students will conduct mathematics investigations including calculating and interpreting the slope of a line
graphing a compound inequality
producing and analyzing a line graph that relates two variables distinguishing between independent and dependent variables drawing a three-dimensional object and its net
finding the surface area of a three-dimensional object
writing a compound inequality statement
identifying and extending exponential patterns
calculating compound probabilities
Science investigations include:
conducting two controlled experiments
collecting experimental data
