This is exactly the type of graphing project that a\nschool math class could use to meet STEM standards. Not only is graphing\nand plotting part of standards in middle schools and high schools so the\nthe concept that heavenly bodies have a predictable movement. I would like\nto see the link to your page posted with a challenge to develop lesson\nplans around it that meet those standards. I like things that start with\nhands on activities that then can be ported out to demonstrate the same\nconcept with technology. Follow it up with a satellite contact.
