Teach Engineering: Stay in Shape

Curated by ACT

In this activity, students will learn that math is important in navigation and engineering. Ancient land and sea navigators started with the most basic of navigation equations (Speed x Time = Distance). Today, navigational satellites use equations that take into account the relative effects of space and time. However, even these high-tech wonders cannot be built without pure and simple math concepts - basic geometry and trigonometry - that have been used for thousands of years. In this activity, students will use learn about triangles and how they can help determine distances.
