Sonar Simulation

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students explore how a side-scan sonar can help locate underwater objects.  In this hands- on lesson students compare side-scan sonar and other methods used to search for underwater objects by creating their own "simulation" of a bathymetry graph and comparing it to actual topography.
