📖 How GPS Finds Position
GPS receivers use timing signals from satellites orbiting Earth. The receiver compares signals from multiple satellites. Tiny differences in travel time help calculate distance from each satellite. Combining several distances allows the receiver to estimate its position.
1. What does a GPS receiver use?
2. Why are multiple satellites needed?
3. What does signal travel time help calculate?
4. What happens when several distances are combined?
✏️ Writing
Write 1–2 paragraphs explaining how satellite signals can be used to find a location.
➕ Math
1. A school collects 7 boxes containing 47 books each. How many books are collected? ______
2. 83 books are donated to another school. How many remain? ______
3. Write an equation representing both steps: __________________
4. Explain how you know your answer is reasonable: __________________
🎨 Color & Create
Draw a receiver and several satellites with signal lines.
