Help your students build real understanding of satellite and gps use through ninety questions that move from basic recognition to genuine reasoning about physics concepts.
Students will answer questions such as "What is the significance of the speed of light in GPS operation?", "What role do three satellites play in GPS location determination?", and "What does differential GPS (DGPS) improve?"
All three worksheets cover the same topic in different question styles. That means you can use one as a pretest, another for practice or homework, and the third as a follow up quiz, without students ever seeing the same question twice.
This set is part of a NGSS aligned physics unit. The unit also covers Introduction to Wave Technologies, Medical Imaging with Waves, Sound Navigation (SONAR), Fiber Optic Communication, Radio and TV Signals, and Infrared and Night Vision, all in the same three worksheet format, so your classroom routine stays familiar while the topic changes.
Suitable for Grade 6-8 physics classes, and for review at any point in the school year. This set is aligned to NGSS standard MS-PS4-3.
