Telemetry

How do you determine the position coordinates of objects in space? Using the provided worksheet, class members determine the location of the space shuttle based upon its spherical coordinates from the Dryden Flight Research Center.

Students investigate the agouti and the ocelot using the TI explorer. In this science lesson, students track the location of the agouti and the ocelot for four hours. They record their data using the TI.

Students perform experiments about motion.  In this motion lesson plan, students use motion dectors and other technology to simulate the motion of animals.  They plot coordinates to indicate paths.  Students measure specified paths and...

Here is a unique resource to use with middle and high schoolers that deals with animal migration. Viewers discover the reasons for, types of, and animals that practice this behavioral adaptation. Specific animals that are introduced...

Students use problem solving skills to observe feeding habits of penguins. They use research data gathered by research scientists to triangulate raw radio telemetry data to determine the location of Adelie penguin feeding areas.

Students use the Internet to research current and past snowpack levels and river gauging station readings. They determine the relationship between snowpack and river flow. They predict future river flow.
