GPS Monitoring                

OBJECTIVE

Students will use grid maps and coordinates to simulate how GPS technology guides farm equipment like tractors and drones. They will practice locating precise positions, recording and following directions, and planning efficient routes to complete farm tasks. Through this activity, students will understand how precision agriculture uses GPS to help farmers save time, conserve resources, and care for crops more effectively.

FUTURE READY

Today’s farmers use advanced technology like GPS to make precise, efficient decisions. These tools help reduce waste, improve crop care, and protect the environment.

By practicing GPS mapping, students build skills like spatial thinking and problem-solving—preparing them for careers in modern, technology-driven agriculture.
