Students learn about radar imaging and its various military and civilian applications that include recognition and detection of human-made targets, and the monitoring of space, deforestation and oil spills. They learn how the concepts of similarity and scaling are used in radar imaging to create three-dimensional models of various targets. Students apply the critical attributes of similar figures to create scale models of a radar imaging scenario using infrared range sensors (to emulate radar functions) and toy airplanes (to emulate targets). They use technology tools to measure angles and distances, and relate the concept of similar figures to real-world applications.

This is a template we use when design lessons and assessments for a specific target.  You can make a copy and edit it to fit any target or standard you have.  There are two proficiency scales, one for the student to reflect on where they are at and one for the teacher to score.  There is also space provided for feedback.  These proficiency scales have been extremely helpful when conferencing with students about their progress.  They are also a great resource for documentation and evidence to support where a student is at in regards to a a target/standard.
