Description | Students learn about the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system, and gain perspective on the size of our galaxy (the Milky Way) and the distance of a nearby spiral galaxy (the Andromeda galaxy) using a 3D model. A student worksheet is provided. Sudents learn about the three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. They also gain perspective on the size of our galaxy (the Milky Way) and the distance of a nearby spiral galaxy, the Andromeda galaxy (shown on the left), using a 3D model. 3D graphing is an important tool used by structural engineers to describe locations in space to fellow engineers. A student worksheet with answer key is provided. |
