Vector Voyage Worksheet 2

This document is instructions for part 3 of a vector voyage worksheet activity. Students are tasked with drawing ship, wind, and ocean current vectors for each month of travel across the Atlantic Ocean. They must add the vectors to determine their actual monthly position and eventual landing location. The wind and ocean current vectors change each month. Students report where they make landfall and how many months it takes to reach land based on the combined vector movements.

Vector Voyage #2 Instructions

Part 3: Unfortunately, ocean currents affect boats too! Each month, you must also add a current correction vector to find your actual final position. So
just like in Part 2, for each month, draw your ship vector (in red), and your wind vector (in blue) and now add on your ocean vector (in green). Now using
your green pencil, draw the resulting vector from all of these (add the red and the blue and green vectors). Do this for each month until you hit land.
Remember the wind and the ocean vector's will be different for each month. They are listed below.
Wind Vectors:
Month 1: 2 squares south

Month 2: 4 diagonal squares southeast

Ocean Vectors:
Month 1: 2 squares south

Month 2: 4 squares west

Month 3: 2 squares west

Month 4: No wind

Month 3: 3 diagonal squares southwest

Where will you make landfall now? ___________ How many months to reach land (only count the solid 10-square vectors)?___________
