\nMeet Geodesy-The Science Behind GPS\n

\n
\n\nFor Teachers\n\n9th - 12th\n
\n
\n
\nStudents discover how a datum of reference points are used to to describe a location. In this Earth Science lesson, students will simulate how a GPS accurately determines the location of reference points within a datum.\n
