"Good morning class! Imagine you're an 18th-century sea captain. Your ship is lost in the middle of the ocean with no land in sight. You know your latitude from the stars, but you have no idea about your longitude. Every day you drift, you risk hitting rocks or missing your destination. How would you solve this problem with the technology available in 1714? Turn to your partner and share one idea."
After 2 minutes: "The British government faced exactly this problem and offered £20,000 - equivalent to millions today - for a solution. This was the Longitude Prize. Today, you'll become investigators evaluating different approaches to this historical challenge." |
Students discuss in pairs, brainstorming potential solutions. Possible responses: "Use the sun's position," "Create a special clock," "Follow migratory birds," "Use sound signals."
Students listen and prepare for the assessment task. |
