Island Navigation

What we have learned so far:

• locate yourself on a map using peaks and triangulation with a magnetic compass: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/U7x9h9U4B6/Lab_01_navigation_compass_challenge.html
• create an astrolabe to measure the height of objects in the elab: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/F6J5D8e4/Lab_03_navigation_astrolabe.html
• determine the altitude of peaks, also part of navigation, using an astrolabe that you create: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/U7x9h9U4B6/Lab_01_navigation_compass_challenge.html
• Polynesian sailing compass, using the stars to navigate at night
• learn how to read maps of the island: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/x5e2H8S/Lab_02_navigation_reading_maps.html
• use a globe and our noon shadow to determine latitude: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/C6S3f6/Lab_06_navigation_globes_and_calculating_latitude.html
• locate evil villains using clues: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/d429D3L/Lab_06c_navigation_find_the_evil_villains.html
• learn about the moon phases, and create a diagram: https://elab.hpa.edu/wiki/pages/v155S7g/Lab_07a_moon_seasons_latitude_longitude_challenge.html
