National Geographic: Measuring Elevation Past and Present

Curated by ACT

One of a series of lessons created to accompany the film The Wildest Dream: Conquest of Everest, which explores the attempt by George Mallory in 1924 to reach the top of Mount Everest. His body was discovered 75 years later. In this activity, students design an inclinometer, a tool that could be used to measure the height of a mountain.
