This toolkit, from the Plus magazine's collaboration with Arctic Survey Education, explores the navigational aspects of the expedition, including questions surrounding cartography and Global Positioning (GPS) systems.

The toolkit can bedownload as a whole or as individual components.

The individual components are:
• Finding your way around the Arctic - background article
• Mapping the Arctic with mathematics - worksheet and worksheet with guidance notes
• Finding your way around the Arctic using GPS - worksheet and worksheet with guidance notes.

HEALTH and SAFETY
Any use of a resource that includes a practical activity must include a risk assessment. Please note that collections may contain ARCHIVE resources, which were developed at a much earlier date. Since that time there have been significant changes in the rules and guidance affecting laboratory practical work. Further information is provided in our Health and Safety guidance.
