Hi everyone!
I'm writing this now from good old Logan Airport in Boston, but by the time you read it on Friday morning I will be in England. Unfortunately, you still have work to do. Hai can help you if you get stuck, or email me with questions. I will reply on Monday.
1) First, grab a piece of scrap paper and a pencil. Do you have it? Good. Go to #2.
2) Open a new window on Internet Explorer or Firefox. Then type maps.google.com
3) Now that you are in google maps, type "Wantage, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom". You should get a picture of the town where I am staying. Look around. Write on your scrap paper how the town of is different than Boston. Include some things you see.
4) In the lower left corner of the Map you will see a key (ex. |---------| = 500 miles). Use the key to figure out about how many miles from Oxfordshire to Boston. Write your answer on your scrap paper.
5) On your scrap paper, write down what time it is on Boston now. Guess what? Oxford is in a different time zone than Boston. (Yup - I am in the future right now! ;) )
Use google to find out what time it is in England right now. Hint- search for "how to convert time zones". When you find the time in England, write it on your scrap paper.
Are you done? Good. Now you should email your answers from your paper to me. If you are in HS ask KM or Hai for help. If you are in MS ask Hai or MA for help.
I promise I will reply before Monday.
If you still have free time in the lab, check out www.hotmath.com. There are some cool games you can play before the bell rings.
Have a great weekend! :)
Kate
