Angles in Navigation
by Karen Larsen
This lesson is an activity to see what an angle is and how is can be used to approximate the time of day or even navigating vessels by measuring other celestial bodies. Students will use sextants to measure the angle of the sun and approximate the time of day by drawing triangles on a graphs using the horizon as the x axis.
