Lab 3 Scavenger Hunt

-The more dissolved oxygen in the water, the more fish is observed in that area of water.

The advantages of the compass become clear when compared to earlier methods of navigation, early tools, and those used at the time of the compass. Early navigation relied heavily on sight, memory, and estimations. Navigators would estimate their positions based on the constellations, the sun, the moon, and visual cues like islands and the shore. Early seafarers stayed close to the land, so they would follow the coast to their destination. While this is not a bad idea, it can be inefficient if following the coast is a longer distance than heading by the water. The earliest navigational tool available to seafarers is dead reckoning. Dead reckoning is the act of estimating location based on the distance travelled, which in turn came from the time travelled and an estimate of the average velocity of the vessel. However, an error in the calculations,

We came up with ideas for our week, by going through schools that had done things similar to this and complied them into a list, the list follows;

All of our water samples were collected from different areas. Sample 1 was collected from a home in Fostoria Ohio that has well water. Sample 2 was taken from Honors Academic Village here on campus. Sample 3 was taken from a home in Haskins Ohio that receives their water from the city of Bowling Green Ohio. Sample 4 was also taken from campus, but from a drinking fountain in Bowman Oddy Laboratories.

To begin, we were introduced to the question, “Where on the court can you make a shot from?”. In order to solve this question, we plugged our equation into Desmos, examined where our equation could be shot from, and found an area on the court where we could continuously make the shot. The solution we came to was, if we stand 15 feet away from the hoop and shoot at a height of 21 feet, then we will be successful with every shot made.

The purpose of this lab was to find out if the height at which a droplet is dropped affects the splatter size of the said droplet. If a droplet is dropped from a higher point, then the droplet will have a larger splatter.

I am the Director of Service for Gannon’s Residence Hall Association (RHA). Summer Young gave me your contact information. The Gannon Residence Hall Association is hosting an Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday, March 25th. We are looking forward to the MLK Center to participating in our event! Can you have everyone from the MLK Center RSVP by Monday, March 19th, so I can have an estimate of who is coming?

Out of the five liquids in this lab, only one is a base. The baking soda is a base because it has a pH of 10 and things with pHs of eight to 14 are bases. Three out of the seven are acids. Acids have a pH of zero to six. Vinegar is an an acid since it has a pH of three, close to that is lemon juice with a pH of two. Bleach is also an acid because it has a pH of 6. Only one one substance in the lab was neutral, which was water since it has a pH of 7. Living things must maintain a pH of seven. Buffers play a large part in maintaining the body’s pH level. Buffers are weak acids that react with strong bases or acids. They’re made by the body to prevent sharp or sudden changes in the body’s pH. One thing I learned from this lab is how quickly pH

We have a scavenger hunt that will going on from September 8th to October 7th with the Living & Learning students (We’re hoping for ~250 students). We will have prizes like gift cards for the leading team each week, plus cards for the leading teams at the end of the hunt. On Friday the 9th, will be hosting an event called judgment day, where the teams will compete in goofy activities like moving marbles with chopsticks. We will be using an application called Scavify. I believe by following this link would have some good information: https://scavify.com/university-programs-student-engagement

If you had studied a topographical map before you left you could have pinpointed water sources, depressions, and elevations, and featured landmarks. Alas, your map is in the car, and you really didn't know what you were looking at anyway, you tried but it didn't make any sense, and of course, a compass is vital, but what to do with it now. You figured who needs a map when you have Google, so how is that working out without a cell signal and a dead battery? "Can you hear me now"?

This essay examines the question: How does GPS rely on geometry and trigonometry now that there are satellites? Has the function of geometry and trigonometry in triangulation and navigation changed since satellites were

How would pilots ever get around so easily without the help of navigation aides? Navigational aides have been around for almost as long as aircraft have been flying in the skies above us. The first navigation system was composted of just a high intensity-flashing beacon. These beacons were placed on the flight routes that were popularly flown in the mid 1920's. With more time more of these technologies that help us navigate the world will be even simpler than today. This paper will explain how some navigational aides work and how some of them came into existence.

GPS works off of twenty-four satellites located 11,000 nautical miles above Earth's surface. These satellites track receivers, which are on Earth. Receivers can be GPS in a car, a chip located in a cell phone, military tracking devises, police radios, or even something as every day as a watch. The distance between the satellite and receiver is measured using the exact distance from six different satellites that locates a particular receiver on a particular path at the intersection of the two satellites. The exact distance and time that it takes to measure the distance is tracked and formulated to produce the exact longitudinal and latitudianl axis of the person being located. As complicated as the mathematical procedures sounds, the radio signals are transmitted instantaneously and the close approximate location of a subject is known at once.9

Accuracy: The accuracy of GPS is usually not enough when small scale of space and fine grained location discrimination are considered, especially on nonprofessional devices with poor quality. And due to its inherent large scale, GPS is difficult to maintain and update, while in many scenarios, the space of interest for localizing is highly dynamic.

While it is not clear what the future of GLONASS will be, currently, it appears that there is resurgence in the availability of GLONASS signals and receivers that can process these signals. Despite the popularity of GPS, many users are interested in alternative systems. This is motivated, in part, by the fact that GPS is a system operated and controlled by the U.S. Department of Defense. As such, some users may want to retain a navigation capability that is not solely GPS-based. Another, more technical, motivation for this is due to the fact that GPS (or any other GNSS) is a single system, and it is conceivable that a single failure can result in a denial of service to a large number of users. Multiple GNSS may provide a level of redundancy and, thus, an added degree of robustness to GNSS applications. The Galileo constellation is the European Union’s effort to provide both an alternative and a compliment to GPS. The first Galileo satellite was launched in December 2005 and transmitted test signals shortly afterward. The Galileo constellation is tentatively expected to become operational sometime after 2010.In addition to GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo there are other GNSS currently in development, such as the China’s COMPASS constellation. This GNSS is being designed and implemented by China and currently has a growing user base in that region. COMPASS is currently in its in-orbit validation (IOV) phase, with plans to be operational in the Asia-Pacific region by
