Texas Instruments: Science Today Scientists Go Below to Find

Curated by ACT

In this activity, using the USA TODAY Infograph "Scientists go below to find," students will graph a city's location by using latitude and longitude coordinates. Students will determine the distance to travel between cities using a vertical and horizontal movement. To determine the shortest distance between two cities, students can use the Pythagorean Theorem. Applying the relationships to a real-world problem will help students understand how geometry is used to solve problems.
