Orienteering is a team navigation sport that utilizes a map and sometimes a compass. Students in Ms. Pickus' physical education classes at Bay Shore Middle School learned about orienteering through "The Amazing Race." Students worked in teams to navigate their way through a course with 7 checkpoints ("control points") that they had to visit in order. They used a map and bearings to figure out where the next control point was. The race incorporated trivia questions from their core subject areas. The students proved they visited each control point by answering the questions on the control markers at the control points.
