Group Number:
1. Estimate the angular diameter of 3 objects on campus. You can use the "knuckle" or "finger" rule that you learned in class. Fill in the following information for each object. Brief Description of Object and it's location (ex: Door at main entrance to science center)
Your location when you made the measurement

Group Number:
2. Stand at double doors in the FRONT of the Science Center, looking down the hall past SC128 (our class room) and look at the double doors at the BACK of the Science Center. Estimate the angular diameter of the double doors at the back of the Science Center. Next, measure the distance from the double doors to where you are standing, and measure the actual width of the double doors. Using the trigonometry you learned in class, determine the actual angular diameter of the double doors from your position. Here is some information you might fin...
