Explore shark movement

Learning target(s)

Students can use an analog and digital models to describe rotational movement on the z, y, and x axes.

Students can describe the structures of a shark’s anatomy that help it change direction as it swims using digital 3D models.

Lesson core

Students build a 3D coordinate model to explore rotations of a model shark on the z, y, and x axes (yaw, pitch, and roll).

Students research the anatomy of a shark to determine structures that aid in yaw, pitch, and roll rotations.
