Sailing An important part of sailing is the angle of the wind to the sails. The diagram shows the different names (points of sail) given to the directions that boats will sail in relation to the wind. https://storia.me/@DavidJames/sail-away-3ceu6i/3-ashore-knowledge-skills-afloat-3f2cdo

Sailing Terms bow port starboard stern Bow: front of the boat Port: left side of the boat Starboard: right side of the boat Stern: back of the boat Capsize: boat turns over bow port starboard Teaching Idea: Pretend the classroom is a boat. Decide on the bow, stern, port and starboard. Play a game of “Simon says…” giving students directions of where to move. Eg Simon says go to the stern. For capsize students need to sit on the ground. Extend by including directions such as “make a quarter turn to starboard” Prep: Describe position and movement Year 1: Give and follow directions to familiar locations. Year 2: Identify and describe half and quarter turns. stern LearningYou.com.au

This activity is tiered by changing the direction which the wind is coming from. Year 4: Compare angles and classify them as equal to, greater than or less than a right angle. https://storia.me/@DavidJames/sail-away-3ceu6i/3-ashore-knowledge-skills-afloat-3f2cdo

Year 5: Estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees Year 5: Estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees. Construct angles using a protractor. https://storia.me/@DavidJames/sail-away-3ceu6i/3-ashore-knowledge-skills-afloat-3f2cdo

Year 3: Identify angles as measures of turn and compare angles and compare angle sizes in everyday situations. Year 5: Estimate, measure and compare angles using degrees. Construct angles using a protractor. https://storia.me/@DavidJames/sail-away-3ceu6i/3-ashore-knowledge-skills-afloat-3f2cdo
