I learned a lot of stuff well doing this unit. Some of the things I learned were how to enter Cordiant’s into the gps. I also learned what geocaches are. Those are just a few of the things I learned.
Well geocaching my group found five geocaches. We made a good plan and map of where we were going to go and worked well together. That is why I think we found so many geocaches in one class period.
