Kids will also learn skills like taking their bearings with a compass; finding their way with dead reckoning; and locating their own latitude and longitude. And best of all: 20 activities--making their own sextant, compass, stick chart, chip log, and more--will turn all young adventurers into young navigators., Born to explore Get outside with this interactive book that shows how explorers have found their way around the planet for thousands of years.
