Global Positioning Satellites

An interdisciplinary project with Fridolin Weber, Ph.D.

Granger Junior High will have students learn about satellite technology. They will learn, discuss, research and debate the science and the ethical implications of GPS technology. We will culminate with a booth at the San Diego Science Festival in Balboa Park. This booth will include a video explaining satellite technology, a real world search for a missing student that compares traditional methods with GPS technology and a demonstration of viewing muons (parts of cosmic rays) using a cloud chamber constructed by students.
