Homework!

Here's our homework assignment given at the January 20 meeting, due at the February 3rd 17th meeting.


With a parent, use a map site on the internet to plan a trip from your home to a nearby place of interest.  Download the directions and a street map showing how to go from your home to the place you choose.

• One suggestion is Heritage Camp (hint:  Use 300 Heritage Road, Farmington, PA 15437 as an address)
• Another suggestion is Flag Plaza (hint:  You can use the T to get there, but will also have to get from your house to the T, and get from the T to Flag Plaza)
• Yet another suggestion is a place you drove to last summer for vacation or a weekend trip, or to a relatives house, or someplace you’ve never been that you’d like to visit.

Have your parent help you determine the cost of the trip you’ll be taking.  Assume:

• Gas costs $3.00 per gallon
• You car averages 25 miles per gallon regardless of whether you’re driving in the city or on the highway.
• You eat three times a day

See if you can think of other things you’d need to buy for your trip
