Teach Engineering: Topos, Compasses, and Triangles, Oh My!
In this activity, students will learn how to actually triangulate using a compass, topographical (topo) map and view of outside landmarks. It is best if a field trip to another location away from school is selected. The location should...

American Geosciences Institute: Earth Science Week: Earthquake on the Playground
In this experiment, students go outside and create a simulation of P and S waves traveling across a 30-meter span. This is repeated using a 30-meter square. They experiment with P and S wave behavior, record results, and use...

Texas Instruments: Numb3 Rs: Regular Polygon Centroids
Based off of the hit television show NUMB3RS, this lesson shows students different ways to find centroids of regular polygons. The traditional way (using medians) is presented, as well as the triangulation method, the diagonals method,...

Teach Engineering: Navigating by the Numbers
In this lesson plan, 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...

Teach Engineering: Navigating at the Speed of Satellites
For thousands of years, navigators have looked to the sky for direction. Today, celestial navigation has simply switched from using natural objects to human-created satellites. A constellation of satellites, called the Global Positioning...
Curated OER
Ny Times: Locating Meteorites Lesson Plan
In this lesson, students explore how locations around a meteorite provide information about the meteorite?s orbit. They then learn about triangulation techniques, create imaginary cities in which meteorites are ensconced, and provide...
