- | == Prerequisites ==
| + | |
- | {{prompt|What should students already know/have accomplished before the lesson is presented.}}
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Prior to this lesson, students have been introduced to the following concepts:
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | * map datums
| + | |
- | ** know the difference between NAD27 and WGS84/NAD83 and can determine which one a topographic map uses
| + | |
- | ** are able to set the map datum on their GPS
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | * UTM
| + | |
- | ** can set their GPS to display UTM
| + | |
- | ** can read the 3 components of a UTM from it: Zone, Easting, Northing
| + | |
- | ** can convert a 13 digit UTM to a 6 digit UTM
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | * can identify the failure modes of a GPS
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | == Objectives ==
| + | |
- | At the conclusion of this lesson
| + | |
- | Students will
| + | |
- | * know how to read their current location on a specific model of GPS
| + | |
- | * choose how long to wait for their current GPS location to settle
| + | |
- | * build a visual/spacial sense of how the UTM grid overlays real land
| + | |
- | * choose appropriate direction to walk to achieve intended changes to their current UTM
| + | |
- | Advanced students will
| + | |
- | * know how to enter waypoints into their GPS
| + | |
- | * know how to get distance and bearing from their GPS
| + | |
- | * for GPS's without magnetic sensors, get a sense of how far they need to travel for the GPS to know their current heading
| + | |

- | Present Objectives
| + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | ''Break students up into small groups''
| + | |
- | ''(often best for instructor to chose groups to give students opportunities to work with others)''
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * Have each groups sign-out a radio, and one or more GPS (one per student if possible)
| + | |
- | * Assign each group a call sign
| + | |
- | * Do a radio test
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * ''Distribute GPS instructions''
| + | |
- | * Review how to set up GPS
| + | |
- | ** Map Datum: NAD27 vs WGS84
| + | |
- | ** Grid system: UTM (Canada)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * Review how to read UTM (Zone, Easting, Northing)
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * Review how to determine accuracy (e.g. 11m)
| + | |
- | ** waiting makes more accurate
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * Distribute maps (may have been given at start of course)
| + | |
- | * Establish a return to class time
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * Using the answer sheet, the instructor chooses a nearby Target Letter for row ii. All the students fill it in.
| + | |
- | * Each group randomly chooses letters for rows iii to vi. They write them in and the instructor records them on his sheet.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * go outside the classroom and record the Zone, Easting, Northing and Accuracy
| + | |
- | * Review how to compare Eastings and Northings to compare relative distance and direction
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * as a class, walk to the UTM for the Target Letter of row ii.
| + | |
- | * locate and go to the nearest feature.
| + | |
- | * record the Feature Number, Zone, Easting, Northing and Accuracy for the feature.
| + | |
- | * Compare accuracy of exercise sheet with current accuracy. How do the 2 errors combine?
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | {{lesson slide||}}
| + | |
- | * break up into assigned groups and proceed to the remaining 5 Target Letters they have chosen, find the nearest feature and record the Zone, Easting, Northing and Accuracy for the feature.
| + | |
- | * Some groups will complete early, have them do additional targets
| + | |
- | | + | |
