Great! Yes, it’s a fun and fairly easy project to do. Regarding people blocking GPS signals, someone told me last week that we are “bags of water” to electromagnetic waves. Doesn’t that sound wonderful!

Happy Holidays to you also.

What a great way to visualize why it is important to take 5 readings in the same location. I will share this with Iowa teachers. I think it would be a great science fair project for a middle school student to repeat your experiment for additional locations and quantify the levels of accuracy for the different methods.

Take care and Happy Holidays!
