PORT TO PORT: A SHIP'S JOURNEY CURRICULUM

Today, we seek goods from all over the world. We are also exploring the realm of the sea. Navigating in a time effective manner is necessary to assist in economic management. Knowing where we are going and how long it will take to get there will also allow rations to be made for crew, fuel, and other supplies. Modern technological advances help us track ships and make educated assumptions as to what might occur while navigating the seas.

During this course, students will track a real ship in real time as it makes its journey from home port to port of call.
