Bathymetry Boxes in Marine Science
February 19, 2015
Students are using an old method to measure the seafloor called plumb-line. The goal of the bathymetry box is to use a modified plumb-line to measure the location of the seafloor. With the help of the app Numbers, they will graph the data and identify features found in their bathymetry box. Students have realized that early ocean exploration was time consuming and not very precise.
