We can also come to you! Our outreach programs illustrate the connecons between STEM educaon and Great Lakes history. Each of our series of programs is available for grades 4, 5, 7 and 8 and supports Ohio Learning Standards. Map It! This series of programs ulizes naucal charts to build skills in topics ranging from geometry to geography and science, all while illuminang the history of the Great Lakes. Fourth Grade: Science - Earth and Space Science Topic: Earth’s Surface Content Statement: Earth’s surface has specific characteriscs and landforms that can be idenfied. Water - Fresh - Saltwater Math - Geometry 4.G.1 1. Draw points, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse) and perpendicular and parallel lines. Idenfy these in two- dimensional figures. History - Spaal Thinking and Skills Geography - Strand 9 A map scale and cardinal and intermediate direcons can be used to describe the relave locaon of physical and human characteriscs of Ohio and the United States. Fiſth Grade: Science - Life Science Topic: Interconnecons within Ecosystems Content Statement: All of the processes that take place within organisms require energy. Energy entering ecosystems as sunlight is transferred and transformed by producers into energy that organisms use through the process of photosynthesis. That energy then passes from organism to organism as illustrated in food webs. Math - Geometry 5.G.1, 5.G.2 1. Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersecon of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel in the direcon of the second axis, with the convenon that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond. (e.g., x-axis and x- coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate. 2. Represent real world and mathemacal problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situaon. History - Spaal Thinking and Skills Geography - Strand 5 Latude and longitude can be used to make observaons about locaon and generalizaons about climate. Seventh Grade: Science - Life Science Topic: Cycles of Maer and Flow of Energy Content Statement: Maer is transferred connuously between one organism to another and between organisms and their physical environments. The total amount of maer and energy remains constant, even though its form and locaon change. As maer is cycled within the environment, it promotes sustainability. Math - Geometry 7.G.5, 7.G.6 5.

We can also come to you! Our outreach programs illustrate the connections between STEM education and Great Lakes history. Each of our series of programs is available for grades 4, 5, 7 and 8 and supports Ohio Learning Standards.
Map It! This series of programs utilizes nautical charts to build skills in topics ranging from geometry to geography and science, all while illuminating the history of the Great Lakes.
Fourth Grade:
Science - Earth and Space Science Topic: Earth’s Surface Content Statement: Earth’s surface has specific characteristics and landforms that can be identified. Water - Fresh - Saltwater
Math - Geometry 4.G.1 1. Draw points, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse)
and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.
History - Spatial Thinking and Skills Geography - Strand 9 A map scale and cardinal and intermediate directions can be used to describe the relative location of physical and human characteristics of Ohio and the United States.
Fifth Grade:
Science - Life Science Topic: Interconnections within Ecosystems Content Statement: All of the processes that take place within organisms require energy. Energy entering ecosystems as sunlight is transferred and transformed by producers into energy that organisms use through the process of photosynthesis. That energy then passes from organism to organism as illustrated in food webs.
Math - Geometry 5.G.1, 5.G.2 1. Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to
define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis, with the convention that the names of the two axes and the coordinates correspond. (e.g., x-axis and x-coordinate, y-axis and y-coordinate.
2. Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.
History - Spatial Thinking and Skills Geography - Strand 5 Latitude and longitude can be used to make observations about location and generalizations about climate.
Seventh Grade:
Science - Life Science Topic: Cycles of Matter and Flow of Energy Content Statement: Matter is transferred continuously between one organism to another and between organisms and their physical environments. The total amount of matter and energy remains constant, even though its form and location change. As matter is cycled within the environment, it promotes sustainability.
Math - Geometry 7.G.5, 7.G.6 5. Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical and
adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure.

Eighth Grade:
Science - Life Science Topic: Species and Reproduction Content Statement: Diversity of species occurs through gradual processes over many generations. Fossil records provide evidence that changes have occurred in number and types of species. (Changes in environmental conditions can affect how beneficial a trait will be for the survival and reproductive success of an organism or an entire species.)
Math - Functions 8.F.2, 8.F.4, 8.F.5 2. Compare properties of two functions each represented in a
different way (algebraically, graphically, numerically in tables or by verbal descriptions). For example, given a linear function represented by a table of values and a linear function represented by an algebraic expression, determine which function has the greater rate of change.
4. Construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Determine the rate of change and initial value of the function from a description of a relationship or from two (x,y) values, including reading these from a table or from a graph. Interpret the rate of change and initial value of a linear function in terms of the situation it models and in terms of its graph or a table of values.
5. Describe qualitatively the functional relationship between two quantities by analyzing a graph (e.g., where the function is increasing or decreasing, linear or nonlinear). Sketch a graph that exhibits the qualitative features of a function that has been described verbally.
History - Human Systems Geography - Strand 15 The movement of people, products and ideas resulted in new patterns of settlement and land use that influenced the political and economic development of the United States.
