Student Activity 2:

Convert magnetic azimuths to grid azimuths

Introduction:

This activity is designed to provide practice in the application of Lesson 2 converting magnetic azimuths to grid azimuths
The Task:

Convert magnetic azimuths to grid azimuths
The Process:

 

In an outdoor, or indoor, environment, utilizing the skills developed, students convert magnetic azimuths to grid azimuths. The students work in pairs and convert all sixteen azimuths.

 

Students will determine the azimuths in degrees. The student pairs will record their results and turn them in to the assistant instructor or the instructor for evaluation.

 

Both students must be prepared to brief instructor on the technique used to determine the azimuth conversions.

Resources:

Student Resources:

1. Writing paper

2. Pencil

3. Four declination diagrams

Instructor Resource:

Determined grid azimuths to all 16 problems
How you will be graded:

This exercise will be a 'go' or 'no-go' endeavor for this drill

To receive a 'go' the student must:

  • determine the azimuth conversions on all 16 problems
  • record all 16 conversions and turn them into the instructor or assistant instructor
  • Time constraints will be announced prior to the beginning of the exercise

Students not receiving a 'go' will seek the assistance of the instructor or assistant instructor.

 

Assistant instructors will be students who have received a 'go' and have been instructed on the required teaching techniques.
